THE THREE STOOGES COLLECTION Volume Four: 1943 - 1945
21 Digitally-Restored Shorts, Arranged Chronologically,
and Packaged in a Two-Disc DVD
AVAILABLE ON OCTOBER 7
CULVER CITY, CALIF. (July 28, 2008) - The Three Stooges will be caught in their brand new set of crazy shorts on October 7. The classic comedy trio returns with more eye-gouging, nose-tweaking fun in The Three Stooges Collection Volume Four: 1943 - 1945 debuting on DVD October 7 from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. All 21 short films from those two years, chronologically organized, have been digitally remastered from original negatives and include such fan favorites as Dizzy Detectives, Busy Buddies and Three Pests in a Mess. The Three Stooges Collection Volume Four: 1943 - 1945, continuing the fan-requested roll-out of the group's complete short film anthology, will be available for $24.96 SRP.
The Three Stooges are one of the most influential screen comedy teams of the 20th century and 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.

Hey, good news. If it's like Vol. 3 and the other two, that's great.
Still, as pointed out in review below, it would be great if there were some extra interviews, just to help contextualise things for a lot of younger viewers who may be getting their first real introduction to the Stooges via these Collections.
