If you find some films on YouTube, just post them in the thread.  I’ll then attach them up on top.  Here’s the thing though - being copyrighted films, I can’t guarantee they’ll stay up, as Sony tends to take them off YouTube.

What about Dailymotion ? or would that not work ?

I'm pretty sure Pals and Gals is the only one missing of the Columbia shorts. I must have been distracted when I was ripping the DVDs a few years ago; I don't have a copy of that one in any of my folders.  I've put a copy of it (ripped by someone else) in place of the missing file, so it's there now.

Actually, I have added in a feature to make links to videos on DailyMotion, YouTube, Archive.org, and other video sites available in the "Watch The Film" section, so if you know of a video online of something in the Filmography, please send me a PM or email with the link and I will get it added.  The links will open a popup with the video embedded - for those sites where I was able to find embed code    Otherwise it will just open the other site's page for the video.

Of course, as Doug pointed out, there is no guarantee on how long those links will last, as they get taken down fairly often.  Woman Haters is an example with the "Watch on Other Sites" portion of the Watch the Film section, and when I checked them I found a broken link and had to remove it.  lol

*Gets some popcorn* Its one of my favorite Shemp Shorts, so far like I said its the only one without it showing.

You're welcome, and enjoy!   

It was a hectic time when I ripped the videos and I must have been distracted and accidentally skipped it, because I didn't have a copy of it anywhere.  All of the other shorts are present and accounted for.
