I'm rebuilding my Three Stooges collection from scratch, and have purchased a number of items. First and foremost is "The Ultimate Collection," which has all of the official Columbia shorts plus two features and some solo shorts. Really that ought to be enough for anyone. But I also ordered:
SOUP TO NUTS, their first feature before Shemp bugged out for a solo career.
"Classic Shorts From the Dream Factory," some god-awful two-strip Technicolor shorts with Ted Healy.
GOLD RAIDERS/MEET THE BARON--really just wanted to see MEET THE BARON. ZaSu Pitts, FFS.
A Blu-ray triple feature with TIME OUT FOR RHYTHM and (unfortunately) the two movies that are also in the "Ultimate Collection."
I feel like that might be enough for me. Mildly tempted by the Shemp Vitaphone shorts. Even more mildly tempted by the later movies with "Curly Joe," but I remember them being absolute ass. Anyone want to put in a kind word for something I might have overlooked, or just talk about Stooges in general?
