I have to say, this is one heck of a hard DVD to find, at least for me. I went to 3 Best Buys and none of them carried it. So, I decided to order it from Amazon. I received the DVD a few days ago and just finished watching it yesterday. In my opinion, this is a great DVD to own. You get two rare stooge movies for around $13, which is a great deal.
I already saw Gold Raiders before I got this DVD. The movie is pretty good. However, the movie is quite short, running only 56 minutes, and the stooges should have been given a little bit more screen time. One big problem I have with the movie is that the stooges have very little screen time during the last 17 minutes of the film. But, the stooges give great performance is in this movie, in my opinion.
While others may disagree, I actually like Meet The Baron better. Of course, the movie would have been much better if the stooges were given a lot more screen time, but whenever the stooges are in a scene, they deliver an excellent performance. I especially liked the scene where the stooges were fixing the pipes because the showers stopped running. I also like this movie because Jack Pearl and Jimmy Durante were absolutely hilarious in this movie. That is the main reason why I like this movie better than Gold Raiders. Every actor in this movie managed to make me laugh out loud.
I highly recommend buying this set, that is, if you can find a store that carries it. For those of you that are thinking of buying the colorized Sony DVDs, I think that you should skip those and use that money for this DVD instead. It is a much better investment.
