THE THREE STOOGES FILM SHORTS CATALOG

The Stooges – God love ‘em. What an impact they made on American comedy. You see their influence even today, some 75 years after they first started.

All the shorts are now available on Columbia Pictures DVD sets. Worth the time and trouble you’d go to to find them.

Special thanks to Walt, one of my former supervisors in the Coast Guard, for inspiring me to put this list together. He recently asked me if I knew the names of the Stooges shorts and in doing so, I though what better subject with which to do my inaugural posting here.

Walt said a sound file I’d put together some years ago, which I called “Curly Auditions a Starlet” was “absolute genius”. Judge for yourself. You can find it online at: http://brainsandwich.bravehost.com/ . From there you will have to scroll down to the "Brain Sandwich Sounds Effects" section and click on it. It should then play for you. Let me know what you think via my e-mail link at the top of this blog.
