Not a very good collection of "Laurel & Hardy" episodes at all. Most of the episodes contain their solo "silent era" work, which really isn't as good as their work together. The video has not been cleaned up at all either, so viewing many of them can be a chore. Unless you can't find "Utopia" and "Flying Deuces" elsewhere for a cheaper price, I cannot recommend this collection at all.

There is NOTHING NEW HERE, these films have already been issued (some restored) on other DVD collections. And some of these presentations are incomplete!


FLYING DEUCES (the boys other public domain feature) (the restored version is on KINO's "FLYING DEUCES-RESTORED VERSION")

PAPER HANGERS HELPER - Oliver Hardy only, with Bobby Ray (cut down version of "Stick Around", the complete restored version is on KINO's "OLIVER HARDY COLLECTION"),

YES YES NANETTE - Oliver Hardy only (the restored version is on Hal Roach Studio's "LOST FILMS OF LAUREL & HARDY"),

HOP TO IT BELLHOP - Oliver Hardy only, with Bobby Ray (original title: Hop To It , restored on KINO's "OLIVER HARDY COLLECTION" under the original title),

THE STOLEN JOLES, which features Laurel & Hardy, Wallace Berry,Edward G.Robinson,The Little Rascals, Thelma Todd. (the restored version is an extra on KINO's "FLYING DEUCES-RESTORED" DVD) ,

MUD AND SAND - Stan Laurel only (also on Passport's "LAUREL & HARDY-ALONE & TOGETHER COLLECTION" and BRENTWOOD'S "LAUREL & HARDY 14 FILMS COLLECTION"-with music.)

I am a big Laurel and Hardy fan, and I was hoping for some of my favorites to be on this DVD, but most were silent films, and the one talkie was the one where they join the foreign legion.
