Self-published overview of the solo [Columbia] film careers of Shemp Howard, Joe Besser and Joe DeRita, plus Curly Howard's sole, solo MGM short. Some incorrect historical information. Backstory events are presented with imaginative over-dramatizations of conversations between Moe, Shemp, Larry, Harry Cohn, Jules White, etc. Spelling, typo and grammatical errors abound; e.g., Ted Healy is referenced frequently and his last name is misspelled continuously.
The author's enthusiasm and good intentions for the subject matter is apparent, but the presentation is lacking and the book is not recommended.
Author's promotional blurb...
"Only One Stooge is a unique Three Stooges Book! Not only does it chronicle the lives of four independent Stooges away from the team, it also has a humorous side created by the author. A book filled with fact, fiction, shock and surprises! A book far away removed from the usual traditional Three Stooges norm of other books. So have an open mind and prepare yourself for a wild, slapsticky ride!"
Also available in Kindle.
