    5.0 out of 5 starsWHAT A FEAST!!
    By Robert C. Graham on August 5, 2005
    Verified Purchase
    I purchased this set as I noticed it included my favourite A & C movie `Time of their Lives` which had never been available before on DVD. So to get 7 more movies for a price I would have happily paid for that was a great bonus.

    The picture and sound quality of all of these films is outstanding and great care has been taken in perfect transfers from excellent, apparently original negative, 35mm material so it is a first class ride throughout. For A & C that is the only way to travel.

    It seems a shame that some reviewers gripe about a lack of extra and should see it another way. You are buying one movie with 7 first rate features as extras - how about that for value? Remember you are paying less than $1.88 (or around £1) for each of these superb quality movies... I rest my case!

    All of these series` discs play fine on my multi region players here in the UK. Even the slightest finger mark on a disc or dirty players can cause skipping and freezing (just a thought!).

    In conclusion incredible value, superb quality set of movies which I recommend to anyone

    By Alexander E. Paulsen on August 1, 2004
    Thank you, thank you, thank you to whoever at Universal opened the vault and released these gems on DVD.

    I grew up with these movies and now get to share them with another generation.

    This is good clean fun comedy that you won't be emabrassed to show to anyone. Never mean spirited or vulgar, just comedy like it was meant to be by two undisputed geniuses of the genre.

    Buy this set and enjoy A&C all over again.

    Now all I need is a box set of the A&C show from the 50's woth Hilary, Mr Fields, Mr. Bacciagalupe, Mike the cop and Stinky. I can't wait.

    4.0 out of 5 starsAs good as the first set, maybe even better.
    By Brian J Hay on October 16, 2004
    Some of the situations the Hollywood movie machine contrived as vehicles for their stars show their age, often badly. Many of the "chase" sequences" don't hold up at all. The runaway sailboat sequence in "Here Come the Co-eds" is an example of this. It has its moments. The close up shots of the live actors and the background footage they're superimposed on don't match each other. Details, things like wind moving fabric around, are missing. Often, the "halos" that were left around people when their images were superimposed over stock footage are still present. (It's still not always that easy to get rid of those perfectly even when with a still photograph. Ask someone who's done it.) The problems lie with the special effects. These were the state of the art in their time but are weak by current standards. This list goes on. Archival and stock footage (which was used a lot) is often grainy. Sometimes the resolution of pieces of film being matched is completely different. And so on ... Don't worry too much about all of this. Bud and Lou's comedy has too much too offer to let small technical issues stand in the way of enjoying what they did. The routines they inserted into their films are as fresh today as they were sixty years ago. The timing they had was impeccable; a lot of today's performers could learn from it. Some of the best performances of their routines captured on film are contained in this set. Every one shows how good their timing was. Watch and enjoy.

    Hit the Ice ****

    When Lou Costello walks into the door that bud Abbott just went through it's funny. When most duos do this it's not as funny, if it's even funny at all. That's timing. You turn on any of these movies knowing this is going to happen a lot. You expect it. You may even know it's coming.    Read more ›

    3.0 out of 5 starsAbbott & Costello - Mid Career
    By Movie Mania VINE VOICE on November 26, 2005
    The boys are back with a second set of eight films from 1943 to 1947. They are on two double sided DVD's with two films on each side. And if you like the boys, these are good films (not their best).

    ***Hit the Ice - Bud and Lou are on the run and end up at a resort in Sun Valley. They get jobs at the resort but the crooks follow. The film ends up with a typical but still funny ski chase.

    **In Society - Bud and Lou are two incompetent plumbers who are called to fix a noisy toilet at a society home during a costume party. They and their female taxi driver friend are mistaken for guests and are invited to a weekend in the county for the unveiling of a painting called "The Plunger". When the painting is stolen, the boys find it. Very typical and not that funny.

    ***Here Comes the Co-ed's - Bud and Lou are employed at an all girl college and kaos ensues. Of course, the college has financial woes and in the end, the boys save the college.

    ***Naughty Nineties - Bud and Lou's version of Show Boat. Bud is a bad actor and Lou is the bumbling stagehand. The river boat captain loses it to gamblers who turn it into a crooked casino. Bud and Lou come to the rescue with what is becoming their typical chase scene (but this time it works perfectly.) Also, they perform "Who's on First".

    ****Little Giant - Lou is his typical simpleton who aspires to be a great salesman. He leaves the farm and goes to the big city and gets a job as a door to door vacuum cleaner salesman for a company run by a corrupt Bud. After a disastrous day Lou is exiled to the Fresno office run by Bud's twin brother who is honest. By accident, Lou becomes the salesman of the year and returns to Los Angeles in triumph.
