What shows written on the description and cover of the DVD are not whats in the box. I love Martin & Lewis and was dissapointed since i already had the movies that were in the box. The movies are always great, but i am dissapointed that the movies promised werent in there.

Too bad Passport Video doesn't list the contents for these. I had another set of Martin & Lewis Colgate Comedy Hours and was afraid these were duplicates. This 2-disk Best-Of collection includes:
DISK 1:
Episode #1.22 (1951) - Polly Bergen, Bob Fosse, Mary Ann Niles
Best-Of Episode (1953) - Tony Martin, Joe Lewis, Connie Russel, Ray Malone, Danny Arnold, Ira Grossel, Bernie Schwartz, Peppy Millow
DISK 2:
Episode #2.10 (1951) - Dorothy Dandridge, Danny Arnold, Bob & Eddie Mayo, Donald MacBride, Marion Marshall
Episode #1.34 (1951) - Helen O'Connell, Fosse & Niles, Ladd Lyon

These are the full Colgate Comedy Hours with all the original commercials. It's live television at its improvisational best. Martin & Lewis play fast and loose with the Norman Lear scripts but some of the finest moments come at the end of the show with five extra minutes to fill on their own. Also catch a pre-Hollywood Bob Fosse already showing his signature moves.

This set has Martin & Lewis' comedy hour shows that they did during/right after their radio program! It's real and raw and FUN ALL OVER!! True Martin & Lewis fans would benefit most from this collection!! THIS IS HOW COMEDY USED TO BE!!!! Enjoy with the family and laugh at the classics!!

It would be helpful if the product description included a description of the product.
