All Trades in 1949, and then The Three Stooges Scrapbook in 1960. Kook's Tour was actually their fourth attempt for a TV series. "Gold Raiders" (1951) was an independently produced theatrical feature also intended to become a television series, with Moe, Larry and Shemp. The film was unsuccessful and a TV series was aborted. The name is a pun on the term "Cook's Tour", which was popularized by the Thomas Cook travel company. The film also served as a promotional vehicle for the Chrysler Corporation. All the vehicles shown in this movie were produced by Chrysler, Chrysler RV, and Chrysler Marine Division. Following Larry's stroke and the cancellation of Kook's Tour, the film remained unreleased for several years. Director Norman Maurer eventually edited all usable footage into a 52-minute film and released it through Niles Film Products in Super 8 Sound home movie format in 1975. It has since been released in VHS and DVD formats. Kook's Tour was also sold through Blackhawk Films, Davenport Iowa. There was only one additional day of filming planned for Kook's Tour, at a park in LA, mainly for close-ups. There is only one known 16mm original master print of Kook's Tour, belonging to a private owner in Florida. This film was purchased with documentation, through Chrysler Corp. who sponsored the movie. The film was shot in no-fade Kodachrome color with optical soundtrack. This 16mm original proves beyond all doubt that super 8 prints are not the only version and that the original 16mm film exists. This historical print was made widely available to purchase. However, there was no legitimate offer. The additional information regarding this film are supported by facts. Attempts to claim a "Citation Needed" is false.
