Rare and Classic L & H You won't find anywhere else!!
What a great DVD package! Platinum's 2-disc "Laurel & Hardy-TV Classics" edition is a great tribute to present some of the earlier solo works of one of the most beloved and greatest comedy teams in film history!! Disc one in the collection contain the following shorts SAW MILL,KID SPEED,ENOUGH TO DO,WEST OF THE HOT DOG,ORANGES AND LEMONS,TREE IN A TEST TUBE (an educational short made by the U.S. Forest Service Dept. and their only film appearance in color!),and their first onscreen appearance together,LUCKY DOG.Plus,you'll also get their last feature film UTOPIA (which for some strange reason has Hal Roach credits since this film was made outside the U.S.).Disc two features the 'other' L & H public domain feature FLYING DEUCES and the following shorts PAPER HANGERS HELPER,YES NANETTE,HOP TO IT BELLHOP,the Hal Roach-produced STOLEN JOLES (which features Wallace Berry,Edward G.Robinson,The Little Rascals,and Laurel & Hardy in the famous car-trouble scene!),and Stan Laurel's three-reeler MUD AND SAND.All the films in this collection have good,but not great picture and sound quality and all of their silent shorts contain music scores (with the exception of MUD AND SAND which is totally silent!).This is an absolute must-have DVD for any Laurel & Hardy fan and is an absolute opporatunity to see Stan and Ollie in their solo shorts,most of which haven't been seen in almost six decades! Thank you Platinum for preserving and presenting the early years of Laurel & Hardy!!! Long live Stan & Ollie!!!
For one-stop convenience, you can't beat this handy compilation of Laurel & Hardy classics. Although it's modestly priced and packaged, this DVD packs plenty of extras along with Stan & Ollie's finest feature and several of the comedy duo's best-loved "talkie" shorts. Sons of the Desert (1933) is the crown jewel in any L&H collection, and with Charley Chase as their stellar comedy costar, the boys reached the pinnacle of their unique partnership, playing a pair of Fez-wearing "Sons of the Desert" sneaking off to a convention in Chicago, but their wives discover the ruse with hilarious results. For L&H fans, it simply doesn't get any better than this, although 1932's "The Music Box" shares equal status--and a 1932 Oscar® for Best Comedy Short--in the L&H pantheon. The...

When it comes to long-awaited treats like The Marx Brothers Collection, you can never get too much of a good thing. These seven comedies can't compare to the sheer lunacy of the five classics (The Cocoanuts, Animal Crackers, Monkey Business, Horse Feathers, and Duck Soup) that the Marx Bros. made for Paramount between 1929 and 1933 (available in The Marx Brothers Silver Screen Collection), but when uber-producer Irving Thalberg signed Groucho, Harpo, and Chico to an MGM contract in 1935 (by which time sibling costar Zeppo had become the team's off-screen manager), he knew just how to cure their box-office blues. As a result, A Night at the Opera and A Day at the Races were critical and commercial hits, lavishly produced... More Info about this DVD Director(s): William A.

I love Abbott and Costello, but these "Best of's" released by Universal are so pathetic it isn't even funny. They are flipper discs, and they are so easily damaged and cheaply made that they aren't good for anybody. I loved the movies in these sets, but come on Universal, stop using these cheap discs and use single sided discs. More Info about this DVD Director(s): Charles Barton - Daniel Helfgott - Erle C.

I've become addicted to Abbott and Costello films since discovering this DVD set and the ones that followed. There was a day when comedy was creative, silly, and clean, and that time is captured on these DVDs. Anyone who wants a good laugh should check them out, especially the movies "Hold that Ghost" and "In The Navy." More Info about this DVD Director(s): Arthur Lubin - A. Edward Sutherland - Erle C.
