This DVD is NOT the DVD that people have reviewed here.

Jimmy Durante and Donald O'Connor are NOT on this DVD.

There is NO feature movie on this DVD.

It does contain 4 hour long Colgate Comedy Hour programs from different years in the early fifties that are very funny.

This dvd is just chalk full of big-name stars such as Rosemary Clooney, Burt Lancaster, and Vera Miles. Burt Lancaster does a skit with Jerry and Dean about an escaped lunatic which is just hilarious. Vera Miles does another skit with Dean and Jerry as Dean's wife. They go to an orphanage to adopt Jerry for their son. The comedy will have you rolling! Check out little Jerry Mathis (Beaver) at the orphanage. I would highly recommend this dvd for the exceptional comedy and also the great price!

I thought I was getting a DVD but ended up with VHS, still some of the funniest stuff ever done. If you want an idea what all the Hu-hu about Lewis And Martin, get this and you'll see at their peak, no one came close and ever will.

This was entertaining & I love Dean Martin. If you want to see early Maritn & Lewis, this is a good start.

If you can get your hands on something, anything by Martin and Lewis, I think you should go after it. They were always incredibely brilliant, and this package is no exception.

Every Martin and Lewis Diamond DVD is more than welcome to my collection!Keep them coming!
