Binding: PaperbackDewey Decimal Number: 792 EAN: 9780971186804 ISBN: 0971186804 Label: Comedy III Productions Inc Manufacturer: Comedy III Productions Inc Number Of Pages: 562 Publication Date: January 01, 2002 Publisher: Comedy III Productions Inc Studio: Comedy III Productions Inc Editorial Review: Product Description: The Three Stooges are the greatest comedy team of all time. Their great body of work spanned almost forty years and includes over 200 films. This book pays tribute to the great comedy genius of The Three Stooges with a detailed study and analysis of all of their films. This is the definitive source book from respected Stooge expert Professor Jon Solomon and specifically authorized by The Three Stooges'company, Comedy III Productions, Inc. This is a one of a kind book. The 562 page book presents all of the film work of The Three Stooges from their beginning in 1930 to their last in 1970. Each film is meticulously analyzed and added to the chapters are anecdotes and information regarding the film itself, the supporting players, directors and producers. There is no book quite like this. It is a Stooge fans dream, but it is also informative and quite entertaining for non-stooge fans who are interested in entertainment. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Could they have done a better job? Soitainly!For years I've been looking for that perfect guide to Stoogedom. Did I find it? Well, kind of. Solomon's book does have its merits. It covers and analyzes ever single one of their films and cameos appearances (it is a filmography after all) in excessive detail. In some ways, that is also one of its faults, however. Much of the book's wopping size is taken up with Solomon's listing of their verbal and visual gags. A few succinct summaries or examples would've worked perfectly here - such as the first ... Read More Rating: - A Wonderful Book, Printed by Ma Bell ?I found this book to be quite enjoyable. A lot of work has gone into this. There are a few mistakes, but I'm sure these can and will be corrected, in a 2nd printing. If your a Stooge fan, this book is a must. The only real complaint I have, (reason why I didn't give five stars) is that the pages are SO paper thin, you have to be careful with the book, to prevent a page from tearing. I would rather have paid $60 for a hardback copy, with top quality paper. I hope this will be considered if another ... Read More Rating:  - Crash Goes The Re-HashCollege professor Jon Solomon has just rehashed all the same old information in already existing Stooge books to create this new "Stooges Companion." The trouble is that there is not much new information here, and I found quite a few factual errors throughout as well. His research skills are limited, and his writing style is as dry as your typical professor (i.e., "... those who can't, teach"). The real disappointment will be found in the book's construction -- basically this volume is printed on phone ... Read More Rating:  - Much better than a poke in the eye!I read this book every day, and pretty much know it by heart. Dr. Solomon's years of research have paid off handsomely, as he presents the most exhaustive and detailed reviews of the Stooges films ever written. Knowing the films as I do, I did find a few things missing and a few typos, but nevertheless this is an excellent book and highly recommended by this huge Stooge fan!! Rating: - Truly Complete, Accurate and Absorbing ReadI must tell you that I am somewhat biased toward the subject matter of The Complete Three Stooges as I am Larry Fine's eldest grandchild. I also worked with them in my youth. Having intimate knowledge of The Three Stooges both personally and professionally, I was pleasantly surprised at the accuracy and detail brought to this filmography by Dr. Solomon. As a family member I think all Three Stooges fans will get a true picture of the Stooges body of work and its importance to the development ... Read More |
