Featuring Miscellaneous Appearances
54 min. (TV Special)
Direct-to-video production inspired by The Stoogephile Trivia Book. This actually deals little with trivia, and primarily presents a showcase of film, trailer and TV footage, mostly public domain, from The Three Stooges' performing career. Interviews with actors and crew who worked with the Stooges are also shown. From many of the people who gave us 50 YEARS WITH THE THREE STOOGES: THE FUNNIEST GUYS IN THE WORLD (1983), this 1-hour tribute hosted by Jeff Forrester is, in format and content, essentially a sequel to that earlier production.
Film clips are taken from A PEACH OF A PAIR (1934), DISORDER IN THE COURT (1936), SWING PARADE OF 1946 (1946), BRIDELESS GROOM (1947), SING A SONG OF SIX PANTS (1947), MALICE IN THE PALACE (1949), AFRICA SCREAMS (1949), the television pilot JERKS OF ALL TRADES (1949), CAMEL COMEDY CARAVAN (1950), THE FRANK SINATRA SHOW (1952), STAR SPANGLED SALESMAN (1968), and trailers from HAVE ROCKET WILL TRAVEL (1959), 4 FOR TEXAS (1963) and THE OUTLAWS IS COMING! (1965). In addition, there's Moe's solo turn on the TV pilot STRICTLY FOR LAFFS (1962), Healy replacement stooges "The Gentlemaniacs" in SWING IT PROFESSOR (1937), and video footage taken at the dedication of The Stooges' star on The Hollywood Walk of Fame (Aug. 30, 1983).
Closing credits list "A. L. Stewer" as the Sound Mixer, and "Wm. Bill Wick" as the Boom Operator... two characters from THREE DARK HORSES (1952).
Received a VHS reissue in 1995, retitled as "The Three Stooges Comedy Adventure."
