Product Description For four decades, the Three Stooges ran amuck in a riotous frenzy of eye-poking, ear-slapping, kicks, jabs, punches and frying pans to the cranium.Now, BIOGRAPHY offers fans of the Moronic Maestros a chance to relive the Golden Age of Stoogery. Through rare recordings, exclusive interviews, outtakes and behind-the-scenes antics, THE THREE STOOGES tells the pure, uncensored Stooge story from the early Shemp shuffles to the final days of Curly Joe, "the forgotten Stooge." Whether you're fascinated by the unrestrained id, or just enjoy the good, clean humor of pliers applied to the nose, you'll find something to love in this in-depth look at America's most beloved madcaps! .com So, was Larry Fine really the Keith Richards of the Three Stooges? That's just one of the weighty assertions put forth in this thoughtful bio of the world's greatest troupe of slapstick comedians. Aside from lovingly edited "greatest hits" moments, this A&E production also contains hardcore Stooge material documenting the troupe's early years (under the name Ted Healy and his Stooges), as well as detailing the ever-changing Stooge membership. The video is impressive not only for its breadth of coverage, but also for its depth. Viewers are treated to an ultra-rare glimpse of the early Stooges performing on vaudeville as well as poignant home movies of an aged Curly. But it's not all sugary praise and heart-tugging remembrance; the video points out that the Stooges appropriated much of their act from other performers and, during the early part of the career, weren't really all that popular. Overall, The Three Stooges is a compelling work that puts a touchingly human face on characters most think of as simple, pie-throwing clowns. --S.

Interesting, but............
The Three Stooges A&E Biography was an interesting documentary, but I wish there were some more clips of Stooge shorts. The one clip from DISORDER IN THE COURT is the only clip in the whole fifty minutes. However, I did learn something from this documentary, such as that Curly made a cameo in MALICE IN THE PALACE, but the scene was cut. I also learned that Shemp poked Larry in the eye in a card game for cheating, and Moe fell out of his seat laughing and added that gag to Stooge shorts.An interesting documentary, but there's a lack of Stooge clips.

Mediocre
The Three Stooges shorts are some of the best loved comedy films of all time, and yet many people do not know anything about the men behind the act. They each played a role in keeping the act together for over twenty years and led lives outside of the Stooges.This biography attempts to shed some light on the subject. It describes how the Stooges were put together by Ted Healy, their decision to leave him, and the reasons for many replacement stooges.The information found here is easily found in books about the trio, so one would expect something extra special in documentary form. There is nothing really, however. Aside from interviews with good sources like Larry's sister, Ted Healy Jr., and the Stooges fan club president, there is hardly anything to savor. Hardly any clips are used from the many shorts made by the Stooges and what is shown is in bad condition.This is an acceptable documentary, but it is by no means groundbreaking or highly watchable.

YUK! YUK! YUK!
Who can ever forget these marvelous clowns who kept your eyes glued to the tv laughing at their antics? Their poke in the eyes, slaps on the face and other wild gimmicks were imitated by those children who watched these numbskulls. Mo, Larry, Curly,Curly Joe, and Shemp were far more than silly entertainers. They were disciplined comedians whose art transformed the comedy of their time. They were also family men, businessmen and shared all the foibles of all men. Biography does a superb job in chronicling the careers of this group but also allows us to look into their personal lives. You will finc humor, goodwill and sadness in this bunch. Enjoy the Stooges!
