Movie Reviews of The Three Stooges - Meet the Baron/The Gold Raiders
Movie Review: Two Rare Three Stooges movies finally come to DVD!
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this on DVD just last month, I've been waiting years to see these movies and it's great that you get two for the price of one.
"Gold Raiders" is from 1951 and so the lineup is Moe, Larry and Shemp. It's is a pretty good movie, a nice little comedy/western with The Three Stooges provide the big laughs of course. I really enjoyed the fact they are the co-stars of this movie along with George O'Brien so they are onscreen almost the whole movie. The acting from O'Brien and everyone else is pretty good and the plot is simple but with some neat little twists. The Stooges are in about 90% of the movie and it dragged in a few parts when the Stooges were absent for a long time. Other than that I really liked it.
"Meet The Baron" is from 1933 back when Curly first joined the act to replace his brother Shemp, and the boys worked under their friend and fellow comedian Ted Healy. The movie is about a seamster (Jack Pearl) who impersonates the famous adventurer Baron Munchausen (the character Pearl was famous for playing on radio) with Jimmy Durante as his sidekick/manager Joseph Magoo. Ted, Moe, Larry and Curly play bumbling janitors at Cuddle College, an all girls school where the Baron has been asked to speak at. Ted and the Stooges are not in the whole movie, they are in a supporting role here, but when they do show up they really steal the show! The sequence where they are asked to fix the water pipes in the girls shower room is extremly funny! Its a okay movie made better thanks to Healy and the Stooges, although Pearl and Durante do some pretty funny stuff themselves.
Both movies are in good shape, and they have been rarely seen in the past few decades so it's nice they are finally out for everyone to see on DVD.
The only negative for me is the lack of extras, you only get the theatrical trailer for "Meet The Baron" and that's it! Why couldn't they have added in the trailer for "Gold Raiders" too? (That can be found on the Live and Hilarious DVD from Legend Films) Even a commentary track would have been nice.
Despite that, I'm really glad I bought this DVD. If your a Three Stooges fan it's well worth your time to check these two movies out!
Summary of The Three Stooges - Meet the Baron/The Gold Raiders
Westward-ho-ho-ho! There's a wagonload of sundries and snake oil rolling toward Red Mesa and since Larry Shemp and Moe hold the horses' reins there's a load of slaphappy shenanigans too in the way-out Western Gold Raiders. Barrel-chested cowboy icon George O'Brien adds heroics in a galloping battle with robbers. Meanwhile with exploding cigars a demonstration of the trio's "miracle eyeglasses" and a medical exam with the boys posing as MDs the Stooges show how the jest was won. Next in one of their earliest screen appearances the Stooges Meet the Baron. Radio comic Jack Pearl (with support from Jimmy Durante) plays the bogus baron on a speaking tour and Larry Curly (billed as Jerry) and Moe play janitors at the all-girl Cuddle College. What? No hot water in the shower? The boys will be right up!Running Time: 122 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY UPC: 012569837812 Manufacturer No: 83781Similar DVD Movies
