- These "lost" films should have stayed lost!!
I just recently broke down and ordered two volumes out of this 10 set series of "Lost Films of laurel and Hardy"(Volumes six-this one-and three):of Laurel and Hardy and Laurel and Hardy-related silent shorts.When I viewed them,I,nearly broke down.What a disappointment.
This series has been on the market for about eight years now.I had already purchased quite a number of just the Laurel and Hardy shorts by themselves on VHS(VERY pricey!),which explains why I hesitated so long to buy them again on DVD.But I took the plunge,and definitely regretted it after what I saw.
It seems it is getting harder and harder these days to trust ANY kind of marketing relating to any DVD releases,particularly when it comes to older films like these, and these releases just reinforce that distrust.
To begin with,absolutely NONE of these films have been remastered in any way whatsoever visually,only a scant few have had ... Read More

- A lot of fun
Though there are only two L&H films proper on this compilation, they're among their funniest silent output and two of my own personal favorites of their silent shorts. I'll admit it did take me awhile to really warm up to their silent work, since like most modern-day fans I came to them through their sound shorts and was very familiar with how uncannily their voices matched their personalities and all of the onscreen action. But we don't even need sound to laugh hysterically at 'That's My Wife' (one of quite a number of times Stan dons female attire in their career!) and 'Putting Pants on Philip.' People will probably never stop arguing over which was the first true L&H short, when they stopped just being together in the same film without being part of a planned team, but 'Putting Pants on Philip' is one the titles that comes up most often as the first true teamed effort. (The other two that most commonly ... Read More

- must buy series
This series is a great treat for fans of silent comedy. The package covers have rather poor art but inside is a small booklet with color repros of the posters and little writeups on each pic with a color lobby card repro on the back. #6 even had a surprise bonus of a Charley Chase 1 reel. He is a wonderful talent who should be better known. Well worth the price.

- 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
