Much has been made of Moe, Larry and Curly - and rightly so - but Shemp Howard was a comic master too often overlooked, with a solo career that far outshone that of the other Stooges. This long-overdue 2-disc spotlight on Shemp - one of the first and one of the last Stooges and brother of Moe and Curly Howard - contains two early '30s solo Shemp shorts (Henry The Ache, Knife Of The Party); a trio of Shemp's Three Stooges shorts (The Brideless Groom, Sing A Song Of Six Pants, Malice In The Palace); a live TV Camel Comedy Caravan with Shemp, Larry and Moe; the complete 1942 feature Private Buckaroo, starring Shemp and The Andrews Sisters; the 1949 feature Africa Screams, starring Abbott & Costello, Shemp, and Joe Besser - and more, including outtakes from Africa Screams and sequences from the 1935 drama, Convention Girl, in which Shemp plays it straight as a smalltime hood!
