If 4 More Shorts Were Chosen for Public Domain...

(1/2) > >>

Stooge-Adam:
and you got to choose those four shorts, which ones would they be?

So in addition to: Disorder in the Court, Brideless Groom, Sing a Song of Six Pants and Malice in the Palace

My choices would be...

Punch Drunks
An Ache in Every Stake
How High Is Up?
Rusty Romeos (I feel Joe needs to be represented in this)

So with my list there are four Curlys, three Shemps and one Joe.

What about your list?

12Medbe:
I'd say

Three Little Pirates
Vagabond Loafers
Scheming Schemers
A Merry Mix Up

Hammond Eggar:
One of the bad things about the public domain shorts is that most films and documentaries which feature Stooges footage tend to only use the PB shorts.  The '80s feature film "Stoogemania" was guilty of this.  I've always felt that was a big part of the problem with the film.  It's about an obsessed Stooges fan, yet there's very little Curly in the film, and, of course, no Besser or DeRita.  Imagine just how different the film would have been had the producers had access to all 190 shorts.  As such, if I were picking four more titles to go into public domain, my list would probably be heavy on Curly, with one Joe Besser title included to help give a broader view of the entire act.  Here's what I'd pick as of right now.

1) You Nazty Spy!
2) A Plumbing We Will Go
3) An Ache in Every Stake
4) A Merry Mix-Up
