I haven't seen this, but the cast looks solid: Leon Errol, Walter Catlett, Donald Meek, Akim Tamiroff, Lew Davis, Heinie Conklin, etc. Also John Gilbert's final role.

Not that I know of. I haven't bought it yet either (for the same reason). Sometimes they have deals, i.e buy 2 get 1 free, but nothing now.

Thanks for the heads up. I just ordered it. When its Stooge related, I'm buying it.

Thanks for the link.
Pretty good review. The author seems to know his stuff BUT!!! - Shemp Howard died in 1937?!?!
And another error, not quite as colossal as that one:
This was not John Gilbert's final film, as stated. It's his final FEATURE film but not final film.

But I do appreciate the unusual way he writes the part of his review telling what happens to most of the characters by the end of the movie, but not which characters they are. That was distinctive.

Post by: falsealarms on August 26, 2011, 01:21:08 PM: Regularly 19.95, this title is currently 15.96 (reportedly through 8/29, but I'm not sure about that). Either way, now's a good time to get it and save a few bucks.
