Rating: - PLAYABLE IN ALL REGIONS
Amazon misstates the facts regarding in which DVD Region these discs will play. ALL TEN of the "Lost Films Of Laurel And Hardy" series of discs are REGION ZERO, which means they will play ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. You can buy with assurance that the discs will perform perfectly as designed.
Rating: - More for hardcore fans than newbies
Like most of the discs in this series, this seems to be geared more towards the hardcore fan as opposed to someone who's just getting into the boys or who's never seen any of their stuff before period. This is one of the discs, however, that starts to have more material of interest to really hardcore fans as opposed to even a fan who isn't that new but still likes this kind of obscure stuff. Probably my favorites on this disc are 'Unaccustomed As We Are' and 'With Love and Hisses.' UAWA was the boys' first talkie, as evidenced by the clever title, and while it's pretty funny and entertaining, it feels kind of rushed, and like they were overcompensating for the new medium of sound, by how much dialogue there is, kind of like showing off that they could really talk now. It's the same reason the silent version of this short doesn't work, because of an overabundance of dialogue. However, this whole short was classic ... Read More
Rating: - STUNNING!
I will not go into a synopsis of the material as that is readily available but will comment on the series itself having viewed them all.
This is a stunning collection of the early work of the `boys` and is presented from restored 35mm material much of which is taken from the original surviving negatives. Several of the titles in the series, have until fairly recently, been considered lost forever.
Each disc has detailed information on the titles and every film is presented with either the original vitaphone sound on disc (again recently discovered) synchronised with the picture or with a composite vitaphone soundtrack.
Even for those who don`t normally view `silent` movies these are astounding prints of what is now the historic formation of one the most inventive and forever lasting comedy teams ever to grace the silver screen.
Each disc deserves five stars for content, ... Read More
Rating: - Very good for old school
I quite enjoy Laurel and Hardy, and the lost films series of DVDs are adequate. Unfortunately, there is still not a complete collection of their work available in the US (their available work, that is, since some films are lost).
If you enjoy Laurel and Hardy, they're worth a look - but be warned! Most of the films are silent. They're still quite good, mind you, I enjoy them immensely. But they do have a different flow and feel to them vs. the talking shorts they did in the 30s.
The dvds usually contain about 4 Laurel & Hardy shorts and about 2 "miscellaneous" shorts. Sometimes there will be older films with only one of the boys, but not both. Typically there's at least one Charley Chase short. Chase was a fine actor of this era that is sadly forgotten (seriously. Try searching online for "forgotten charley chase"). The Chase shorts are very good and enjoyable.
