Three's never a crowd when it comes to the immortal Stooges, as demonstrated by this no-holds-barred, back-to-back compilation of mayhem, wild comedy, and classic routines from TV, film shorts, and features. The boys appear with Steve Allen, Ed Wynn, and original front man Ted Healy as bungling barbers, clueless cowboys, goofy golfers, bumbling beach bums, witless witnesses, hare-brained house cleaners, and more. You'll split your sides when you see Curly as a jumbo jockey who can't mount a horse, Shemp as a ghostly do-gooder determined to reform his partners, and Curly Joe as a near-sighted knife-thrower menacing Larry.

You'll see all six of the Three Stooges - brothers Moe, Curly, and Shemp Howard, Larry Fine, Joe Besser, and Curly Joe DeRita - in this exhaustive "Nyukumentary" covering their comedic career in all its goofy glory. Starting in the early 1920s as sidekicks for comedian Ted Healy, the Stooges made their movie debut in Soup to Nuts (1930), and gained their greatest fame in a series of short films for Columbia from 1934-'57. You'll see the Stooges and many of their collaborators from both sides of the camera (actor Emil Sitka, directors Edward Bernds and Jules White) in rare film clips, documentary footage, TV Interviews, and more.
