Summary: Stooges
Comment: Three words say it all, "THE THREE STOOGES", which means classic comedy at it's best. Another awesome box set of cleaned up Stooge goodness. I REALLY hope they continue to go through ALL the shorts, so we get cleaned up Shemp shorts as well, as I loves me some Shemp. Eeb bee bee bee bee! Buy this if you love the Stooges, as it's a MUST have for all collectors of all things Stooge.

Summary: The Three Stooges Collection, Vol. 4
Comment: We have another fantastic collection of The Three Stooges in this set. There are 21 shorts on two discs & the comedic genius of Curly is fully evident. It was a sad day when Curly Howard's career was cut short by health problems but few episodes in this set reveal the problems.
"They Stooge to Conga" has our three boys taking on spies when they arrive to fix a doorbell.
"Dizzy Detectives" finds them taking on a gorilla.
"Spook Louder" has them hired to guard an inventor's spooky house. This is the short that has the mysterious pie thrower.
"Back From the Front" has the boys at sea & the ship they're on is sunk. They're adrift at sea long enough to grow beards. They board an enemy ship & raise havoc with the Axis powers. Moe does another great imitation of the despised German leader.
"I Can Hardly Wait" is the famous short where Moe attempts to pull Curly's tooth.
"Phony Express" is one of their Western spoofs. In this one the boys are misidentified as three famous lawmen.
"A Gem of a Jam" finds the boys working as janitors but thought to be doctors by three hoodlums.
"Idle Roomers" has the boys taking on a version of the wolfman.
Gents Without Cents" is one of my favorite shorts by the Stooges. This is the one where the boys do the Niagara Falls routine. "Slowly I turned, step by step, inch by inch..."; Moe & Larry then proceed to rip Curly's clothes to shreds. Listen closely to them on the stage & you'll hear Moe & Larry mess up their lines.
"No Dough Boys" finds our boys in Japanese uniforms & thought to be escaped prisoners.
"Idiots Deluxe" is certainly one of the Stooges most violent episodes. Moe is being sued by Larry & Curly because he tried to kill them."If a Body Meets a Body" finds the Stooges involved in a murder-mystery.
"Micro-Phonies" has Curly posing as Senorita Coocaracha, an opera diva who can't sing. Curly is actually miming to a record & then the real female singer. It's a classic episode.
It's a great collection for Stoogephiles that love to yuk it up with the boys. The prints are in pristine condition but there aren't any bonus features, not even subtitles. Thank you, Sony, for giving so much of the proper attention to restoring these prints.

Summary: Always Fantastic
Comment: These Collections are great, I have all of them so far and they are awsome. The picture is great, i watch them on my PS3 and HDTV and the quality is great even in full aspect ratio. the only thing i would complain about is no etras, which would be nice. Like mini documentary that would explian for example curly's illness and fall in the recent collection and the emergence of shemp. But the stooges are great just to watch and I am 22 years old and I love them. Their comedy is not dead and it will never die.

Summary: The Last Of The Hilarious "Curly" Shorts
Comment: This fourth volume of the Three Stooges collection again showcases the hilarious slapstick comedy of Moe, Larry, and Curly. Although a few episodes in this set are a little stale due to a recycling of old ideas, for the most part they are as hilarious as all the others preceding them!
Of course, at this point in the release of this collection, most Stooges fans are probably wondering when they, sadly, will begin seeing the effects of Curly Howard's mini-strokes, which led him to become a shell of his former self both on and off screen. However, only the very beginning of Curly's mini-strokes can be seen in this collection, and even then it is only in the final 3-4 shorts (which are still hilarious!)
So, buy this product confidently knowing that you are still getting the best of the "Curly" shorts. No Volume Five has been announced yet, so this may be the last we can own of the Stooges for some time (as the next collection would contain the "Stroke Curly" and the very unpopular Shemp as his replacement).
