You are in luck, just about every L&H Roach sound film is available as an HD download thru the iTunes Store (at least in the US). I believe these are the HD transfers made in conjunction with The Essential Collection, but not issued anywhere else. You can start your search here if you want... https:...

Call me when there's an HD version...

Robert Weide, producer of "The Marx Brothers in A Nutshell", saw the LA premiere and says the film is now about 80% pristine, with the old dupey reels and muffled audio still accounting for the rest...

Kudos to Mr. Bader, I'm sure it will be fantastic.

Missed opportunity though, this is the one Marx Brothers book that should include Gummo on the cover...

There was to be a late '30s re-release of "Monkey Business", and the Hays Office issued notes as to what should be cut (which has been published)...but Paramount changed their minds and reissued "Horse Feathers" instead, with the extensive cuts we know today. "Monkey Business" was never touched.

Some new info, some new theories, and some old myths questioned...

A long shot but I might as well give it a try...

I'm looking for Series-21 Short #8 released 4/6/42...a music short featuring a song by Groucho Marx. I 'd love to get a copy in any format, or at least ask a question to someone who's seen it.

Never be sucked in by anything claiming to be "remastered" or "best quality transfer" for this film...the BEST way to enjoy this one is to find the softest, most washed-out print you can. I'm serious about this, the less detail on Stan's face, the better.

I just noticed this independently yesterday and was directed to this thread...has anyone compared the people coming down the stairs to the extras in "Animal Crackers" (particularly the opening)?

Correction...Groucho and Chico DO appear in a short bit together, at 1:11:00.

I wonder if it'll turn to 3D at the same time it turns to color...

After ingesting the box for a few weeks now, the only fault I see is with the 1953 short "Goof On The Roof"... Starting with the 3D "Spooks", released a few months prior, all Stooges films were all composed for and released in widescreen. However "Goof On The Roof" was actually shot a year earlier a...

Great episode...again.

The big question for me is whether this set will have an uncut version of "Punch Drunks," the Three Stooges second short. The DVD set I have now of the Stooges shorts contains the version that edits out the final scene in the fight ring. After Curly knocks out the other fighter, he continues to kno...

What possible reason could there be for that scene being cut?

So last night after writing the above post I contacted the guy who discovered the print (I found him on Facebook), here's what he said... "Hi. I think you have some kind of a sixth sense for writing to me about it. Today is the day when I leave Hungary and go back to the USA. (I live there since 201...

Here we are 5 years later...

What a shame this potentially exciting discovery hasn't resulted in any news. Does anyone know if Warners was ever informed and if they've ever commented?

Dick Bann posted on Facebook that the foreign language versions will have optional English subtitles.

Just over a week until the release, and we have our first official preview of the set...

May be if we luck out we'll get something the quality of "Brain Donors"...

Here's a great piece by Richard Bann detailing the history of the mutilation and degradation of the L&H catalog and what's being done...
