The Three Stooges: Extreme Rarities - In COLOR!

If you have a good sense of humor and can relate to slap stick comedy this will crack you up. Some of it is very clever. The humor and dialogue is nothing like any modern comedy which comedy these days is based on trying to make people laugh at political or celebrity people. You have have been around at least in the 50's and 60's to appreciate the Three Stooges. Of course no woman I ever knew liked them. Only the guys. I recommend this to the guys of the last generation.

I grew up watching this simple form of entertainment these guys are always going to be the best 👌.

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.

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.

There was a skit with horse racing, which was colorized, but not actually the famous short. Snipits of that were interspersed with a lot of black and white footage. What got me to buy was the picture on the front, which was of their classic golfing short, one of the best they've ever done. They colorized the picture, making me think that the short would be in the program, but it wasn't. That's bait and switch, folks, and I wouldn't recommend this DVD to even the most rabid of colorization fans, for after watching this, they will feel that there is a large "SUCKER" sign that was just placed on their forehead.

I bought this for a Father's Day gift from my son to his Daddy. My son has recently been introduced to the Three Stooges, and it's a great show for the both of them. The DVD is not grainy, like with some remastered videos. The episodes are great, and they both laugh at every episode.

.... the early part depicting the early history of the Stooges was pretty good with details and old photos. The horse bit with a few seconds of Stooges interspersed just a content-filler. Heavenly Daze must not be that rare since I was repeating dialog ("I'm convinced" and "You don't know the half of it!") before they were uttered - I saw this one when I was a kid 45 years ago. Overall only for mega-fans looking for any tidbit they might have missed.

There were some scenes that I never saw, including the TV shows that the Three Stooges appeared on. I never knew that Danny Thomas did a variety show either, and the Three Stooges where on there. It was very good, and enjoyable.
