... View MoreThere's a reason you won't ever see this short on television.At least I've not seen it on TV ever, and only saw it today because I bought The Ultimate Collection.This short would rate 6 or 7 stars if the - very loud - background music was removed.It is difficult to hear the dialog because of the music.That leaves the only other problem, i.e. the dialog being in rhyme. Very distracting from the story.Now, that said, there's not a thing wrong with the acting and the story line is fine though it wouldn't've hurt from a touch more development.
... View MoreHaving just reviewed The Three Stooges' previous shorts they made at M-G-M with Ted Healy, I'm now commenting on their very first short they made at their new studio of Columbia. Moe, Larry, and Curley's (as the latter's name was spelled during this time) first film without Healy was unique in that there's an underscoring throughout and they and the entire cast nearly talk entirely in rhyme during the whole thing. They enter at what becomes a Women Hater's club with Bud Jamison (the first of what would become their stock company at the studio) doing the initiation. Then Larry reveals a week later that he's fallen in love with Marjorie White and that's when all hell breaks loose! I'll stop there and just say that I really enjoyed this unusual short early in their careers especially when Curley does his unique characteristics and those sound effects when they punch and poke each other. And Ms. White is quite good in participating in the slapstick with them. So much so that one wonders how further she would have gone had she not tragically died in an accident soon after filming finished. Also, eventual winner-of-more-than-one-Oscar Walter Brennan appears here as a train conductor so that should provide more than enough interest here. So on that note, Women Haters comes highly recommended.
... View MoreThis is one is really unique episode and not to forget this is the very first stooges episode. This stooges episode is mostly about rhyming and being a musical.You know how none of the stooges are really the main character, well this one actually has a main stooge and it's surprisingly Larry. Usually Larry is in the background while Curly and Moe have most lines and jokes.The story is about The stooges joining a woman hating club but Larry is about to get married to a woman named Mary but Larry is having problems with breaking up with her.Down right saying saying it's an okay stooges episode but it's very unique and eccentric episode.
... View MoreAfter the 3 Stooges rid themselves of the highly annoying and abusive Ted Healy,(who was killed in a drunken brawl several years later), they were signed by Harry Cohn of Columbia for a few short films. We know 192 shorts and 23 years later they were rediscovered and revered as cult heros. Their characters were much more evolved in this first entry than any of the MGM films they did, where they yielded the spotlight to Ted Healy most of the time. Once their individual characters really materialized, by 1935, they did some of their best work. The surreal quality of Woman Haters, the lively music score and memorable song: "....for you...my life, my love, my all....." makes this an interesting first entry. A very good print is on the DVD release: "Curly Classics"
