The Three Stooges goof their way back onto DVD March 17th when Sony Home Entertainment launches The Three Stooges Collection Volume Five: 1946-1948. The notorious trio of buffoons continue tickling funny bones worldwide in 25 “fan requested” short films, now digitally remastered and chronologically organized, with such favorites as A Bird in the Head, Brideless Groom and I’m a Monkey’s Uncle! This collection also features one 1947 short starring Larry, Curly, and it marks the return of Shemp Howard as part of the Three Stooges. The fifth volume in this tremendously popular series will be available in a two-disc DVD for $24.96 SRP.
The Three Stooges are one of the most influential screen comedy teams of the 20th century and have been an inspiration to generations of comics that followed. Following their start in vaudeville, the trio’s film career began in the early 1930s, reached its slapstick peak during their tenure at Columbia Pictures (1934-1957) and lasted well into the 1950s. After their initial retirement, they were rediscovered by an enthusiastic new generation through the medium of television and have surpassed all their contemporaries in terms of lasting popularity.
