U.K. buyers - this DVD plays on Region 2 machines!!!,
By
This review is from: When Comedy Was King (DVD)
Crisp picture and sound quality, this 81 minute DVD plays on region 2 machines with no problems whatsoever!
"When Comedy Was King" features all the heavyweight comedians from the early 1920's and it is worth the money just for the Charley Chase, Edgar Kennedy, Snub Pollard and Laurel & Hardy sequences alone, ones that serve to illustrate comedy improvisation at its very best. And whilst this 1959 movie is made up of clips entirely from silent era films, narrator Dwight Weist and music by Ted Royal provide additional dimensions to enjoy the onscreen fun. A very nice Robert Youngson compilation which no doubt will be deleted sooner rather than later, so grab it while you can from Amazon.com!

Great silent comedy documentary,
This review is from: When Comedy Was King (DVD)
Robert Youngson made several documentaries on the old time film comedians. The 1st one, "The Golden Age of Comedy", is probably the best
one, but "When Comedy Was King" is also excellent. It is made up of clips from many different silent comedies with a running commentary that serves to enhance the comedic value of the clips. Covers Charlie Chase, Laurel & Hardy, and many other big name comedians of the silent era. I highly recommend all of Youngson`s comedy documentaries.
