I hope everyone has been catching all the Mack Sennett silent films showing on Turner Classic Movies over the past three weeks. There have been some real rarities, all restored and looking great!
On Thursday night, September 27 TCM will be running their final marathon of Sennett shorts, this time including some talkies and there will be several that should be of interest to Three Stooges fans, including:
THE GREAT PIE MYSTERY (1931) - the original version of the story remade as SPOOK LOUDER with The Stooges.
THE LOUD MOUTH (1932) starring Matt McHugh - remade as one of Shemp's best solo shorts MR. NOISY in 1946 (after already having been remade in 1940 with Charley Chase as THE HECKLER).
Several of the shorts feature familiar and favorite Stooges supporting actor Vernon Dent, including:
HOBOKEN TO HOLLYWOOD (1926).
SATURDAY AFTERNOON (1926) starring Harry Langdon.
SEA DOG'S TALE (1926) with Andy Clyde.
THE GOLF NUT (1927).
THE PRIDE OF PIKEVILLE (1927).
FIDDLESTICKS (1927) starring Harry Langdon.
THE BEST MAN (1928).
HIS UNLUCKY NIGHT (1928) also with Bud Jamison.
Others with Bud Jamison include:
MATCH PLAY (1930) - Bud sings in this one!
THE DENTIST (1932).
DON'T PLAY BRIDGE WITH YOUR WIFE (1933).
