Reviews
The soundstages of Columbia Pictures, at Sunset and Gower, and the surrounding environs were the sites of many of the Three Stooges pictures. According to film historian Pauley, many of these locations still exist, and some are still recognizable. After years of painstakingly watching (and rewatching) their shorts, interviewing historians and actors, combing through libraries for old city directories, consulting with fellow Stooges fan-club members, not to mention plenty of footwork, Pauley’s obsession has culminated in this photo-packed volume. Pauley details around 70 films, showing then-and-now pictures, along with publicity shots and stills from the films themselves. Interestingly, the fictional Los Arms Hospital, as seen in the 1934 Men in Black, was, in fact, the old Cedars of Lebanon Hospital and is now the Church of Scientology. The “Stooges Steps,” as seen in the 1941 An Ache in Every Stake, has come to be known as the “holy grail” of Three Stooges filming locations, so what a thrill it must have been to discover it in L.A.’s Silver Lake neighborhood. For libraries that already have the Forresters’ Three Stooges (2002). --Ben Segedin
