Great Buster, Fine Stooges, Poor Laurel & Hardy
by Annie Van Auken (Planet Earth)
The SLAPSTICK GREATS Movie Pack offers several public domain 3 Stooges shorts on one disc, three Buster Keaton silent features on another and Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy two-reelers (made prior to their teaming up) on the third. The only exceptions where Stan & Ollie appear as a duo are a cameo in THE STOLEN JOOLS and their only color movie, a PSA short for the Dept. of Agriculture.
Two of Keaton's greatest works are here, which alone are worth the price of this box set. THE GENERAL is an unparalleled classic, while STEAMBOAT BILL, JR. has Keaton's most famous stunt of all in it (the falling wall).
The early Laurel/Hardy shorts here are poorly preserved. The solo piano used as backing for most of them is dubbed from a scratchy LP, and the "bonus" stunt reel is rehashed excerpts from these old clunkers. Their home movies are mostly Stan's amateur photography of children at a birthday party-- it's rather boring, frankly.
The Stooges are always entertaining, as evidenced by the four well-circulated shorts in this collection. Additionally we have a 1949 TV pilot the boys made (for a show that was never picked up) and a music-filled feature Moe, Larry and Curley co-starred in (watch for Louis Jordan, Will Osborne and other musical luminaries in this).
COMEDY CLASSICS features nine amusing movies from Hollywood's Golden Age.
