These Three Stooges Films Are A Drag

Toward the end of the Shemp years, and I believe into the next years, the Three Stooges films weren't so good.

I guess the thing was the shorts weren't making enough money or the studio didn't want to spend any money on them, or something like that. Surely they didn't just run out of ideas.

I'm watching the Seventh volume of the complete Columbia shorts and many of them are retreads, including footage from films from prior years. It's a complete drag. They put a new title on them though, so at least we have that (ya ha!)

I guess there are different scenes, somewhat, but still ... just retreading an old film and with extended scenes from the earlier film ... is not my way of doing things.

They're very stale.
