Violent is the Word for Curly, directed by Charley Chase, 1938 (Wiki).
Two shorts, Cash and Curry and Tassels in the Air, are making their DVD debut with this set.
The definite highlight of the set is saved for the last film on the first disc, namely Violent is the Word for Curly, which features the boys teaching an all-girls college the song "Swinging the Alphabet" to improve their mental coordination (after being asked an nearly impossible to answer question by one student).
Back to the Woods is the first Stooges short to use stock footage from an earlier film, as the scene where Moe, Larry and Curly escape via a high speed canoe was recycled from 1936's Whoops, I'm an Indian!
I didn't count a single subpar film on this disc. Highly recommended. Disc 2 from the collection will be reviewed soon...
