About This Movie

So, in 1974, they brought together some classic Columbia shorts featuring The Three Stooges into this compilation, 'The Three Stooges Follies.' Directed by Del Lord, it's a real nostalgia trip, showcasing their slapstick charm. You get to see Curly at his finest in 'Violent Is the Word for Curly'—the kind of physical comedy that's just hard to replicate. Then there's 'Yes, We Have No Bonanza,' which highlights their knack for silly wordplay and absurd situations. The pacing varies, keeping things lively, though some segments do feel a bit dated. It's interesting how they changed out 'You Nazty Spy!' for 'Men in Black' in the nontheatrical reissue—just shows how times were changing. Overall, it's a fun look back at their humor, even if it's a bit uneven in spots.

Includes multiple classic Three Stooges shorts. · Showcases varying tones of humor from absurd to slapstick. · Curly's performances stand out in the compilation.
