Disorder in the Court: A 60th Anniversary Tribute to the Stooges

About This Movie

So, 'Disorder in the Court' is this 1990 tribute to the Three Stooges, hosted by Alan Thicke—kind of an odd pairing, but it works. The special dives into their legacy, with various guests sharing anecdotes, which gives it a nice, nostalgic vibe. They also include a newly colorized version of 'Malice in the Palace,' which, I have to say, adds an interesting twist to the classic material. It's not just a dry retrospective; there's life and energy in how the Stooges’ slapstick is celebrated. The pacing feels relaxed but engaging, making it easy to watch. It’s all about honoring that chaotic spirit of the Stooges and showing how they influenced comedy, which is pretty neat to see.

This special has seen limited availability over the years, particularly on physical media. It’s somewhat of a gem for collectors due to the unique angle of colorizing a classic Stooges short, which you don’t often see. Interest in the Three Stooges remains strong, and this tribute appeals to both casual viewers and serious fans, making it a collectible item for those focused on comedy history.
