The Three Stooges: Extreme Rarities - In COLOR!

What a disappointment. It was clips but a narrator talking over everything. Waste of time, even if it was Prime and free. I knew it was color going in but the picture was so fuzzy.

I freely admit that I am big-time fan of The Three Stooges. The first time I ever saw them I was six years old, and that was in a theater seeing Larry, Moe and Shemp in a brand new film in 1954! Of course, a few years later I was introduced to Joe Besser in one of their last short subjects. Finally, in 1959 I saw Curly for the first time in the television releases of their classic films of the 1930s and 1940s. Nearly all my life I have enjoyed their comedy.Anyway, I'll get to the point! "The Three Stooges: Extreme Rarities" is an amazing collection of tidbits the Stooge fan will enjoy. First, and foremost, we get to see a pretty good reproduction of the wonderful 1948 comedy, "Heavenly Daze." That alone is worth the price of the DVD. However, there is a lot more. Stuff about Stooge merchandise, rare TV appearances, and best of all, an incredibly candid interview with Larry Fine after Larry had suffered his stroke. Larry compares Curly and Shemp in the act and manages to praise both brothers Howard while truthfully explaining how well they worked in the act. Clearly, Larry respected Shemp's talent, but most definitely felt in awe of Curly's genius. He is not exactly disrespectful of Moe, but one gets the feeling there had been something of a rocky relationship between them over the years. Seeing and hearing Larry talk about these and other topics was wonderful. I only wish there was more than one interview. It is a shame that we don't have interviews with Curly or Shemp. To the best of my knowledge, I don't think any filmed interviews with those great comics have turned up over these many decades.Anyway, several other reviewers went into better detail than I have about the many delightful features on this DVD. I simply wanted to emphasize that it is truly worth it to get "Heavenly Daze" and the Larry Fine interview. Keep in mind there is much more on the disc. The DVD is well worth the price! I urge fans of "The Six Stooges" to purchase this entertaining and informative offering.

Great deal for a stooge-o-phile. I particularly liked heavenly daze, where the butler was played by Sam McDaniel, brother of the great Hattie McDaniel (Mammy in Gone With The Wind.) Both excellent actors.

Excellent an otherwise unobtainable clips. Don't pass on this one. The audience participation in the Danny Thomas segment was priceless. The Stooges were a hard working bunch.

I didn't read the small print. I was unable to play the DVD in my DVD player. The DVD ended up in the garbage.

Everything Stooges related is comedy gold!

Gift for my nephew. He loved the dvd
