Comedy Classics 100 Movie Pack

A few of the highlights of this above average collection.
Honestly not all these comedies are actual "classics". Some have not held up too well over the years and the humor is more than a bit creaky. But some have held up rather well and others are just so unusual or unlike the comedies that are produced today that they're just plain interesting and fun to watch. Overall this is a good set. Here are a few of the highlights.

GHOST PARADE: A very quick(18 minutes) little comedy about strange and inexpilcable goings-on at a haunted mansion. It's directed by Max sennet and while not a hidden gem it's fun and fast.

MILLION DOLLAR KID: This is a Bowery boy's movie that puts more emphasis on the laughs. The boys befriend a millionaire after saving him from a mugging, but later they suspect that his no-good son was involved in the robbery. The boys decide to "wise him up". It's quick, energetic and fun

MY MAN GODFREY: A ditzy but warm hearted socialite hires a homeless man to work as her eccentric family's butler...

Hollywood comedy films from the Teens to the Fifties
MILL CREEK ENTERTAINMENT's COMEDY CLASSICS 100 Movie Pack is primarily a repackaging of their COMEDY KINGS 50 Movie Pack and COMEDY CLASSICS 50 Movie Pack. Exceptions are "Ghost Parade" and "La Cucaracha," which don't appear on either set. Also, the groups of shorts that were once called "Festivals" (Buster Keaton, Keystone Kops, Stan Laurel, Fatty Arbuckle and Our Gang) are here detailed as individual movies, thus bringing the total film count up to 116.

Transfer quality of MCE's public domain movies is uniformly good. Their dual-side recorded discs usually contain two titles per side and are housed in gloss-coated heavy paper sleeves. Easy access storage boxes are sturdy and remarkably compact. A small percentage of these are obviously dubbed from broadcast TV, thus you may see the "In Stereo Where Available" logo at a movie's...

Laugh, Laugh, Laugh!
You wont' stop laughing with this set and a great value for the price. Packaging was excellent and the DVD picture quality is fine.
