Laurel And Hardy (Box Set) (DVD)

...it where it belongs. Laurel & Hardy despite their lack of the above mentioned "humour" have managed to do something that only modern comedians can dream about. They kept the world laughing consistently for years and have continued to do so 60 years after their deaths. I don't know any modern "great" that I'd remember and still be talking about in a year if he disappeared today. There is one exception and I just did a review on that yesterday, but ...
...a nice box with the Laurel & Hardy logo and a pic of the happy two on the top & sides. Opening the box you are presented with a row of real DVD disc boxes, not the usual cardboard or pocket type rubbish. Each disc spine has the part of a picture that makes up the duo's bowler hats when stacked together. The discs are numbered 1-21 with the last one having a title "A special tribute to the boys" along with other comedy shorts. Please note that the ...

Review of Laurel And Hardy (Box Set) (DVD)

...and to do it to Laurel and Hardy... ouch! I suppose these were done to satisfy the American TV market where so many ignorant viewers will not watch anything that isn't in colour... The whole feel of this set is wonderful. It looks good, it's been lovingly put together, and the quality of the DVD transfers is as good as you're ever going to get on 70-80 year old films. Is there anything I'd moan about... no way. This is a fitting tribute to the best ...

Review of Laurel And Hardy (Box Set) (DVD)

...life I have been a laurel and hardy fan. I was an advocate of the "old fashioned" vhs videos and had a great collection of all of the boys films, which I treasured, but was reluctant to play in case they got damaged. This new dvd boxset has been a godsend, in being concise, hard wearing, and excellent quality, so much so in I have even started given film shows, and lending the films out, to my sons to get them into carrying on the tradition of loving ...
...colourised films included, which to a die hard B+W film lover was a shocking concept, but I must admit it was great to see the boys in the digitised colour versions of all of their classic films. My advice to all the L+H fans out there is to grab a boxset while they are available and give yourselves a treat. ...

Review of Laurel And Hardy (Box Set) (DVD)

Laurel and Hardy have brought humour to the world for decades now and their innocent comedy style is something no one can find fault with. I have had this box set for over a year now and it is a must buy item. It has 21 DVDs categorised for easy finding on what you want to watch. Each DVD has it's own theme on Laurel and Hardy. A lot of the movies and shorts are available on the DVDs to watch in black and white or restored colour versions which ...
...laughter, laughter. When you watch Laurel and Hardy enough you will begin to appreciate that you aren't just watching comedy actors but two absolute geniuses who's expertise in comedy as a duo has been unparrelled ever since. There is nothing more satisfying than having this box set. You have the complete work of two legends available readily to sit down to, watch and laugh. If ever in a bad mood watch Laurel and Hardy it is excellent. There are ...
