Rated 10/10Essential viewing for fans of The Three Stooges.
Disc includes the recently rediscovered Technicolor short Hello Pop!, that had been in the custody of a film collector in Australia until 2013.
The films were produced following the departure of Shemp Howard in August 1932, and the introduction of his younger brother Jerry (Curly), and Ted Healy's girlfriend Marion "Bonnie" Bonnell into the act. Healy, having secured a contract with MGM, appeared in many features and short subjects with his stooges, and as a solo. Although Healy himself enjoyed a modicum of success, the relationship with Moe, Larry, and Curly was strained (they had already left him once after Shemp split). Not having a legally binding contract with MGM, in early 1934 they walked out on Healy, and signed with Columbia Pictures. They even kept the Stooges name, much to Healy's protest and threats.
