5.0 out of 5 stars Good movies. Poor picture quality., May 27, 2009

This review is from: Laurel and Hardy Triple Feature (DVD)

I may have received a bootleg, pirated, copy. I have seen a different studio version of the film in this set titled "Bogus Bandits", which had dramatically better picture quality. In this set the faces in the films are washed-out, from making a copy, of a copy, several times with the faces fading, getting whiter on each copy.

Better print of "Bogus Bandits" is the same movie with the different title: "Devil's Brother" available on Amazon in a two-pack with "Bonnie Scotland".

"March of the Wooden Soldiers" is available with better picture quality individually on Amazon.

"Movie Struck" is available individually too, but I have not seen the individual print and so do not know if the picture quality is any better (it cannot be worse).

"Bogus Bandits" or "The Devil's Brother" is set in the 1600's about a thief charming secrets out of a rich man's wife, and forcing Stan and Ollie to help him, at least to begin with. The film has some excellent singing, quaint sets, some good comedy, and a good ending that is cleverly set-up earlier in the film.

"March of the Wooden Soldiers" finds Stan and Ollie in Toyland saving the damsel in distress from the bad guy. Quaint sets and good comedy.

"Movie-struck" has a couple good songs by a young women. A little humor from Jack Haley the Tin-Man in the "Wizard of Oz". Promising but uneventful. Stan and Ollie are squeezed into a couple scenes, out of place in a story about others, and are shown arriving at the studio to do the scenes breaking believability. It held my attention, but in the end was a missed opportunity for having some good talent, a couple good ideas, and a story that could have done better.

4.0 out of 5 stars Movie struck, June 27, 2007

This review is from: Laurel and Hardy Triple Feature (DVD)

This dvd has one thing on it that's wprth getting and that's the movie 'Movie struck" the other two features have already been released,now if you don't have the other dvds with "the devils brother" and "march of the wooden soldiers" then you should pick this one up ,but if you already have the other two features this one will be worth it for "Movie struck"..now I got to warn you that "movie struck" isn't really a laurel and hardy movie,they are only in it for 5 minutes or so but the movie is excellent and is funny..

How many times, under how many titles, are these Laurel & Hardy films going to be reissued? There are still many of their films that have never yet made it to DVD; these have been seen on various sets. Let's not get suckered into yet another rehash. When ALL the L&H shorts and features have had legitimate DVD release, THEN you cheapskate companies can reissue to your hearts' content.
