Grouped with solid direction and inventive writing (largely the work of Stan himself), along with creative editing and that damned theme tune (“Dance of the Cuckoos” which is both an earworm and a bit of an addition to the creepy vibe I got as a child) really made the art of escalating bad circumstances into pure comic science. I did however notice a hair in the titles frame for The Music Box, but I point that out purely to prove I noticed it (! We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. Auf dem 6-DVD-Set gibt es zudem sehr seltene Trailer (Beau Hunks, Pack Up Your Troubles, Sons of the Desert, Way Out West, Babes In Toyland, The Flying Deuces, A Champ In Oxford, Saps At Sea), Bildergalerien mit selten Setfotos, alternativen Szenenfotos, Kinoaushangfotos u.

I’m no video or audio expert (I prefer to smell my way to HD), but I can say that, as someone that has seen these works in endless formats (as long as your definition of “endless” is about 6 or 7) over the years, I can say that they have never looked or sounded better. They beat Seinfeld to the punch on extracting humor from the mundane and should have copyrighted the act of stretching a gag far beyond its normal breaking point before Seth MacFarlane ever got his meaty, animated paws on it and ruined it. There are so many other little tit-bits he drops in, Tracy Tolzmann’s suggestion to watch the films with the commentaries on is good advice indeed! Some have been scanned at 2K, others at 4K, often from various sources (35mm, 16mm, different generations from the negative).What’s here is great, but, in particular, I hope to see more of their silent films represented on (hopefully) future sets – no one made the leap from silent to talkies better than these guys, but those silents need more love. I’ve already mentioned that the standard of the prints are streets ahead of anything seen before, but the biggest difference – for me – is the framing. The Music Box features crushed blacks, a bit of flicker, and mild speckling, but is otherwise clean and clear. The Tree in a Test Tube, the lone color film in this collection, is taken from a print loaded with grain and crushed blacks. We have listed the best selling ones below (most popular first) so you can quickly find the Laurel And Hardy DVD / blu-ray / box set you're after.

That we now have the once long-lost Holy Grails in the Laurel and Hardy canon, “ Duck Soup,” and the complete-ish “The Battle of the Century” with its epic pie-fight-to-end-all-pie-fights (3,000 pies were reportedly used in the skirmish), is testament to the miracles of film preservation, and a tantalizing tease at what other treasures are out there waiting to be unearthed. I’d be very interested in any data that US sellers might compile on how many copies they’ve sent across the pond though! I’ve had several requests for my source in the USA so here is the link for the Blu-ray: https://www. With all the bonus material jam-packed into this collection, it a set suitable for everyone from the casual viewer to the die-hard fans.I did think that would be the case, but when I juxtapose the loss of what would be a low volume soundtrack anyway against what we are gaining with the commentaries and this wonderful set as a whole, it really is nothing in the overall scheme of things. Der zweite seltene Kurzfilm ist "That's That" von 1938, der seltene alternative Szenen aus "Laurel and Hardy Murder Case", beziehungsweise auch Outtakes aus anderen Kurzfilmen und dem Langfilm "Sons of the Desert" enthält. His main focus and interest was in those showing the making of the films rather than stills from the films. It’s in these shots where Laurel’s expressive eyebrows and his signature ambiguous smile conveyed the amiable naïveté and sensitivity that quickly came to define him. Scram: Perennial drunk Arthur Houseman’s home is the same set as used in Pack Up Your Troubles for Billy Gilbert’s house façade – Billy being ‘wrong Eddie’s’ father.

Visual noise is also evident in many original prints, but here, both are minimal and, in some cases, non-existent.Purchase our many box-sets and feature films featuring this duo of undeniable genius, and find out what all the fuss is about! That story was deep as fuck, but at least it allowed me to ensure that this review had a higher body count than the first 4 Friday the 13th films. We hope that you you enjoyed reading Mike’s views on this brilliant release, and should you have any thoughts, please don’t hesitate to leave them in the reply / comments section below. Fazit: Tolles 6-DVD-Set, das von mir 5 Sterne bekommen hätte, wenn man die Bildqualität nicht so übertrieben bearbeitet hätte.
