1.0 out of 5 stars Cheap, cheap, cheap!, November 12, 2003

By	Fussy "ran14813" (Portland, OR United States) - See all my reviews

A collection of mostly public-domain snippets from Como's TV shows. Lots of kinescopes, so the quality leaves much to be desired.

While the quality of the clips can be excused, there is no excuse for what you get inside the DVD case: Just a disk and nothing more. No notes, no ads, no nothing.

Como deserves much better treatment than what Passport Video delivers in this collection. At 50 minutes in length with zero bonus material, it's a ripoff.

4.0 out of 5 stars Rare selections from early television, January 17, 2004

By	Vincent T. Lynch "vtl" (Falls Church, Virginia USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The video transfer from old kinescopes dating from what appears to be 1951-1955 is not bad considering what condition some of the source material must be in. Thirteen of the songs are from those old Como shows, and there are a couple of gems -- a very strong rendition of "Till The End Of Time", several numbers with the Fontane Sisters, and a comedy rendition of "Small Frye" with Bob Hope where Perry sort of imitates Bing. More disappointing are the four numbers taken directly from Perry's first film -- "Doll Face". Oh, it's nice seeing and hearing those numbers, but I have seen far better transfers on video tape. However, we have to take what we can get from these early years of television, so for collectors this is a good item!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Singing Sensation, November 28, 2003

By	Algernon Wentworth (Derby, CT. United States) - See all my reviews

Perry Como was one of the greatest singers ever and a true gentleman but I thought this dvd was a little pricey for a collection of old black and white kinescope performances. Some of my absolute favorites like WANTED and DON'T LET THE SUN GET IN YOUR EYES were missing also.
Somebody should put together a dvd of the best of Christmas specials.
