Three Stooges 4-Pack #1 (2001) Rating: Starring: Larry Fine, Moe Howard, Curly Howard, Shemp Howard Director: Category: Comedy, Classics Studio: GT Media Subtitles: [None] Length: 261 mins     The 3 Stooges Festival: You'll find all the nyuks you can handle in this special made-for-video compilation featuring no fewer than five slap-happy Stooges: Moe Howard, Larry Fine, Curly Howard, Shemp Howard, and Curly Joe DeRita. Spanning more than thirty years of Stooge-mania, it contains Curly's first film appearance with the trio and original straightman Ted Healy, plus madcap movie shorts, original coming attractions, and rare TV footage. You'll see a live 1949 appearance poking fun at network executives, a party with Frank Sinatra, the pilot for a never-to-be series, Moe on a talk show, and color footage with Curly Joe in both cartoon and live action. Funniest Moments: These rare glimpses of Moe Howard, Larry Fine, and Curly Joe DeRita in color were shot in 1965 as live-action scenes for The New Three Stooges cartoon show, representing the team at the peak of its popularity. While cleaning a musty mansion, they discover a suit of armor that appears to be inhabited, and Moe matches wits with a checker-playing chimp (we wont' tell you who wins) as the boys play zany zookeepers. They wreak havoc on a golf course, the open road, a fishing boat, a camping trip, an airport scale, and the beach, and as perplexed paperhangers, foolish photographers, short-tempered chefs, and dim-bulb doctors. The 3 Stooges Story: You'll see all six of the Three Stooges - brothers Moe, Curly, and Shemp Howard, Larry Fine, Joe Besser, and Curly Joe DeRita - in this exhaustive "Nyukumentary" covering their comedic career in all its goofy glory. Starting in the early 1920s as sidekicks for comedian Ted Healy, the Stooges made their movie debut in Soup to Nuts (1930), and gained their greatest fame in a series of short films for Columbia from 1934-'57. You'll see the Stooges and many of their collaborators from both sides of the camera (actor Emil Sitka, directors Edward Bernds and Jules White) in rare film clips, documentary footage, TV Interviews, and more. Funniest Moments II: These rare glimpses of Moe Howard, Larry Fine, and Curly Joe DeRita in color were shot in 1965 as live-action scenes for The New Three Stooges cartoon show, representing the team at the peak of its popularity. You'll see Moe at his exasperated best as a short-tempered chef, a cold-hearted ice cream salesman, an aspiring dentist (with Curly Joe in drag as his nurse and Larry as his impatient patient), and "Dr. Ben Crazy." They also appear as clueless campers facing an escaped lion, sappy sailors and soldiers, addle-brained actors, timid test pilots, moronic magicians, over-eager electricians, witless waiters, and horseless cowboys.
