Abbott & Costello: The Complete Universal Pictures Collection Reviews
| 126 of 132 people found the following review helpful  Abbott and Costello all in one set on single-sided DVDs, This review is from: Abbott & Costello: The Complete Universal Pictures Collection (DVD) It is a shame that it seems this holiday season so many studios are just double-dipping previously released material. Abbott and Costello are probably worthwhile purchases because, as someone else has already pointed out, the previous collections were on double-sided discs. However, this does seem to hurt the true fan who bought those double-sided disc collections by making them purchase the same films yet again in order to get something that will last long term. The following is the press release for this set, which indicates that 1943's "It Ain't Hay" will be the only film in this set that is a new release.DISC 1: One Night in the Tropics (1940) - Bud and Lou get mixed up in a "Love Insurance" scheme. Buck Privates (1941)- The duo accidentally enlists in the U.S. Army to avoid getting arrested BONUS FEATURES: Commentary with Film Historians Bob Furmanek and Ron Palumbo (Buck Privates) Production Notes Theatrical Trailer DISC...

(USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Abbott & Costello: The Complete Universal Pictures Collection (DVD) A lot of people who are trashing Universal about this excellent release simply don't know what they're talking about:1.) For starters, you have to know that when Universal originally released their other 4 volumes of Abbott & Costello on DVD, the movie IT AIN'T HAY was unable to be included due to rights issues and so it was not able to be included. Now this problem has been rectified. 2.) At the time of the other 4 Volumes of A&C, Universal was foolishly trying out a double-sided DVD technology called "DVD-18". As a result, many people who bought the old DVDs complained of all sorts of random issues like skipping and picture freezing. So if there is ever a bone to pick with Universal, it was because they were experimenting with those earlier DVD-18s. This NEW SET is much more reliable and durable, since it's going to be issued in tried-and-true "DVD-9" single-sided format, which is much better quality all around. 3.) Somebody complained that there...

That said, however, there are some important factors (at least they're important to me) that prevent me from giving this set a full five-star rating.First of all, I have to agree with all of you who feel disrespected by Universal's lack of marketing etiquette. It's bad enough that many devoted A&C fans who purchased those previous Franchise Collection volumes now feel like fools for loyally supporting those releases, but they can't even obtain the previously unavailable IT AIN'T HAY (1943) without having to purchase the other 27 movies all over again. Universal certainly hasn't shown any reluctance in re-releasing the same basic material over and over again (the 75th Anniversary Edition of DRACULA, the 75th Anniversary Edition of FRANKENSTEIN, etc.), so why not release a separate, single-disc edition of IT AIN'T HAY? Or a smaller 3-disc, 6-film set,... Read more |
