Product Description

Another hilarious compilation of Stooge classic shorts. Includes;

Three Arabian Nuts (1951) As owners of a storage company, the Stooges give customers an inferiority complex about their valuables. But when Shemp finds a lamp and conjures up a genie, it‘s not the irate customers they‘re worried about, it‘s the Arabian thieves who‘ve come for the lamp.

Three Little Beers (1935) When the Panther Brewing Co. excludes its three new delivery men from its annual golf tournament, the Stooges get really teed off and come up with a plan to gain entry, with an eye on winning the $100 first prize. Too bad they‘re as bad at golf as they are at delivering beer.

Three Smart Saps (1942) In an effort to help their fiancées’ father, a warden who has been overthrown by one of his convicts, the Stooges go undercover at the jail, which is now being run as a nightclub. When they successfully crash the party, they get the best reward of all: marriage to three lovely ladies.

Three Dark Horses (1952) It isn‘t just politics as usual when the Stooges, working as janitors inside a presidential candidate‘s campaign headquarters, are recruited by the crooks in charge of the campaign. The balance of world power has never been so... well, unbalanced.

Three Loan Wolves (1946) Pawnbrokers Larry, Moe and Curly get more than they bargained for when a curvaceous con girl leaves them carrying the bag — which contains a baby boy, who now wants to know why he has three fathers!

3.0 out of 5 stars The Stooges themselves are the only redeeming factor., April 29, 2002
By "detergent_105" (Vista, Ca United States) - See all my reviews
Well I am a stooges fan so of course I loved the DVD because its the three stooges. Yet I was disappointed with this particular edition for two reasons. One, it only had five shorts. All the others had six, one even had seven. Secondly, probably the funniest scene in the funniest short "Three Little Bears" on this DVD has been cut out. Why the heck did they do that!? Its right after curly says, "I still didn't". What was cut out is (and this isnt a spoiler since its deleted) moe then hits him on the head and curly does his woob woob woob thing and all these golf balls fall out of his coat. Moe then says, "pick out your ball stranger" and the guy picks one up even though you shouldnt be able to tell the difference and says "I think this is it." I memorized the scene after seeing it 5,000 times growing up; goes to show how much of a stooge fan i am. It seems this newest Three Stooges DVD was lazily put together. I will still buy future Stooges DVDs, but I hope they have more then five shorts, and don't delete the funniest scene from the funniest short. Oh and one other thing: the picture on the cover is not from any of the shorts on the DVD.

2.0 out of 5 stars Three Smart Saps w/only 5 films?, March 19, 2002
By William B. Seguine (Flanders, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Extremely happy to see Columbia support the Three Stooges on DVD, with another volume of their ongoing series. Three of the five shorts on this entry are among the teams' best, "Three Little Beers" (1935), "Three Arabian Nuts" (1951) and the underrated "Three Smart Saps" (1942). However, I'm only awarding 2 stars due to:
- Only 5 shorts on this disc? Past volumes have included 6 (one with 7), and considering the information capacity of DVD, even more Stooge classics could easily fit. I'm hoping this was a one-time-only shortchanging, and future volumes will provide more for the money.
- Where's the quality control!!! The print of "Three Little Beers" has 20 missing seconds due to a sloppy splice! One of the funniest scenes in the short (Curly dropping a plethora of golf balls from his pockets) is GONE!

I want to continue supporting Columbia's Stooge DVDs, but you will have to do better than this one guys.
