It’s the latest (and perhaps least expected) LiveFeed Video Imaging project… The Three Stooges, in their classic short subject “Disorder in the Court”, originally released in 1936.

For me, this was really more of a lark than anything else– one of my friends is an inveterate Stooge-ophile, and commented that they would have loved to have been on the set of Stooge short while it was being filmed.  Well, since I didn’t happen to have a time machine handy, this project seemed like the next best thing.

As you might guess, the final effect is strangely intriguing– like a production from early television, rather than a movie studio.  My friend was delighted, which is, I suppose, the important thing.  I don’t know if **everyone** is going to laugh any harder at the nonstop pokes and eye-gouges, or groan any louder at some of the awful jokes in writer Felix Adler’s script, but there’s no denying that the patent-pending LiveFeed visual touch firmly and finally propels this oft-released short well out of the realm of the grungy “PD” releases that it’s been featured on for so many years.  And that can’t possibly be a bad thing!

For those who may get impatient waiting for the official DVD appearance of the restored “Disorder in the Court”,  a downloadable iPod version is available at Hungryflix– for the ridiculously small sum of $1.99!!  Just go to:

…and before you know it, you’ll be watching Larry, Moe & Curly (and the shapely Gale Tempest) put on a courtroom show that would make Perry Mason proud!
