2.0 out of 5 stars YOU WON'T BE LAUGHING !!, December 16, 2006

This review is from: Abbott & Costello in Hollywood / Lost in a Harem (DVD)

In my opinion this DVD release is a total slap in the face to Abbott & Costello fans. Warner home video should be ashamed of themselves with this release, the video transfer quality is absolutely terrible. After watching this double feature, it's evident that no amount of restoration went into this DVD release from Warner. While Abbott and Costello fans will find the movies funny, they won't be laughing over the video quality.

Abbott and Costello in Hollywood theatrical trailer

5.0 out of 5 stars A&C are in top form in this hilarious MGM outing., April 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Abbott & Costello in Hollywood [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Although, not usually mentioned as one of their funniest, this picture cracks me up every time. The routine where Lou is trying to get to sleep is priceless. As in most of their early films, the boy/girl subplot is a bore, and there are a couple of sappy songs, but the laughs are generous.

2.0 out of 5 stars What Happened To The Transfers?!, December 29, 2006

By 

GretschViking "gretschviking" (Northeastern, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Abbott & Costello in Hollywood / Lost in a Harem (DVD)

Although it's a great idea to feature both of these films as a 2-fer DVD, each one suffers from bad transfers. The worse of the two being "In Hollywood". There is a strange blue/gray blemmish at the top of the film that lasts throught the entire movie. While the films are not the best made by Abbott & Costello- thanks to MGM who never knew how to make comedies, they are still fun to watch and are a must for completist geeks like myself.
