The Three Stooges Collection, Vol. 4: 1943-1945

It's better than I remember watching them as a kid. The audio and video has been cleaned up and restored. Laughed till it hurt may seem trite - but it is true.

If you love the Three Stooges, buy all four volumes. Awesome collection!

brilliant pic quality - great selection of episodes, some of which I'd never seen before

First, in defense of Amazon.com, they credited me back my $5.00 or so for their cut in price from the pre-order price without me asking for it or even being aware of a price decrease. Amazon.com is extremely professional, honest and straightforward in dealing with us customers. I give top rating for Amazon.com.
Second, as for this Sony Three Stooges series, this review being on the 4th installment; the transfers are perfect, no editing out of scenes. I own all four installments and my daughter and I enjoy each one immensely. I hope Sony continues with the 5th and 6th and so on in the series as I am looking forward to the Shemp shorts. By the way, for you who don't know, these sets are all in consecutive order beginning with the 1934 shorts and progressing on from there. All in all a great set.
And again, thank you Amazon.com for your continued excellent service and professional dealings with your valued customers.

Sony Pictures is doing an excellent job with releasing the Stooges' films & have done so again in fine fashion with Volume Four! As described on the DVD box, these films represent the final years with Curly before a series of strokes forced him to retire from the act in 1946. This is evidenced in the last couple of shorts from 1945, especially in "If A Body Meets A Body", where it's painfully evident by watching Curly that his mannerisms have slowed & his speech has begun to slur.

Hopefully Sony will continue with the remarkable roll they've been on in releasing the shorts in order, especially the ones with Shemp shorts & even with Joe Besser.

This is yet another great Stooges set from Sony/Columbia. I can only hope the next set which should finish up the Curly shorts has some kind of extras. Interviews with the Stooges remaining relatives. Home movies. Interesting facts about them. Anything would be appreciated. Then it's on to the Shemp shorts.
