Blu-ray Review: Stop! Look! Laugh

Synopsis: It's a Three Stooges buffet that will satisfy every appetite! Get ready to sink your teeth into a feature-length compilation of clips from your favorite Three Stooges shorts. STOP! LOOK! AND LAUGH! (1960) was compiled by producer/director Jules White, who has edited together some of the funniest Three Stooges clips featuring Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Curly Howard. Introduced by Paul Winchell and his dummy Jerry Mahoney, these classic clips include bits from such favorites as "A Plumbing We Will Go", "Micro-Phonies" and "How High Is Up." Also featured are the Marquis Chimps starring in a hilarious rendition of the Cinderella story.

Main Features: I had never heard of this film until I read about it's release. Controversial for reason I would never suspect, it does add a fresh perspective on how a lot of our famous talent from a century, give or take, ago never got their fair shake in rights and profits. "Stop! Look! Laugh!" is one of those examples, taking some old Stooge shorts and piecing them together with some form of a storyline involving a ventriloquist act. It feels artificial, even if the shorts still make you laugh. But even to this day, with intellectual property and residuals from technology advances, the film is a timeless timepiece of how Hollywood can work against those that achieve fame.

Bonus Features: Just a lone theatrical trailer. Nothing else. 

Final Call: Stop! Look! Laugh! is something to definitely do with the latter and Moe, Larry & Curly, but the former for everything in between. 

Grade: C+
