(FAQ). This entertaining and informative study of the Three Stooges
focuses on the nearly 190 two-reel short comedies the boys made at
Columbia Pictures during the years 1934-59. Violent slapstick? Of
course, but these comic gems are also peerlessly crafted and
enthusiastically played by vaudeville veterans Moe, Larry, Curly,
Shemp, and Joe arguably the most popular and long-lived screen
comics ever produced by Hollywood. Detailed production and critical
coverage is provided for every short, plus information about each
film's place in the Stooges' careers, in Hollywood genre
filmmaking, and in the larger fabric of American culture. From
Depression-era concerns to class warfare to World War II to the
cold war to rock-and-roll the Stooges reflected them all.
Seventy-five stills, posters, and other images many never before
published in book form bring colorful screen moments to life and
help illuminate the special appeal of key shorts. Exclusive
sections include a Stooges biographical and career timeline; a
useful, colorful history of the structure and behind-the-camera
personnel of the Columbia two-reel unit; and personality sidebars
about more than 30 popular players who worked frequently with the
Stooges. Also included is a filmography that covers all 190 shorts,
plus a bibliography, making this the ultimate guide for all Three
Stooges fans
