Title: Recycled Stooges
Product review: New Shemp, Old Shemp, Fake Shemp.New Joe, Old Curly Stock Footage.For some fans, the DVD release of Columbia's final Three Stooges two-reelers is a cause for celebration. For others, the 1955-59 shorts are painful to sit through. Plenty of recycled footage, but not enough original material - guided by director Jules White at his heavy-handed worst. Moe, Larry, Shemp and Joe try their best to enliven the diminishing comedic returns and occasionally succeed. However, when "Blunder Boys" (an amusing "Dragnet" parody) emerges as the best film in the set, you realize that the Golden Age of Stoogery is long gone.
