Great Family Entertainment |
Trying to find movies that my kids could watch without any drugs and sex have been challenging these past years. I recently rented Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein and our family watched it. I enjoyed watching it again as adult and found it even funnier to catch everything that Costello says. My children just laughed and giggled throughout the whole movie. That is when I decided to search and find an Abbott and Costello collection. I was lucky. This was the first hit and I looked through it and I was sold.
We have watched many movies from the collection and there are nothing but laughs. Even though this collection is not a complete collection of Abbott and Costello movies, it is a great collection to start with. Here are some of the movies that are missing: Abbott and Costello Go To Hollywood, Abbott and Costello Meet Captain Kidd, Africa Screams, Dance With Me Henry, Jack and the Beanstalk, Lost in Harem, Rio Rita and The Noose Hangs High.
If you do not have any Abbott and Costello movies in your collection, this is a great buy.

great collection for any A&C Lover |
I bought the franchise Collection vol. 1-4. (these films were also all their universal films with the exeption of "It Ain't Hay" I keep the Them at my cousins house because we watch them there a lot) When i saw these i had to have them the films are chronological and its a great collector's item. I wish they would come out with a MGM collection of their films which include:
Dance with me Henry
Lost in a Harem
Abbott and Costello in Hollywood
The Noose Hangs High
(i had to buy all these films seperately)
This collection should include Abbott & Costello meet Captain Kidd. Africa Screams and jack and the Beanstalk but these technically weren't Universal productions rather they were independently produced films by Abbott and Costello themselves so they could do them in color.

Old favorites are better than ever. |

I have fond memories of Abbott and Costello movies back before there was color TV. This collection from Universal Pictures provides quality entertainment that the whole family will enjoy. |

This was a birthday present for my husband. He liked it; we have enjoyed watching the classics. Still haven't watched all of them.
I was happy that the order came on time -- sooner than predicted. |

Universal Abbott & Costello Collection |
|
This is a great collection of Abbott & Costello movies from Universal. I had bought one of the sets from the Franchise Collection and it was junk. It keep freezing on me while in play mode. Some of the discs on this set looked like they were a little scratched in spots but they still played flawlessly. Now if I could only find the other Abbott & Costello movies on DVD from the other studios I could complete my collection. Anyone know when MGM will release Rio Rita on DVD? When whatever studio will release Abbott & Costello Meet Captain Kidd on DVD? There are so many DVD releases of Africa Screams and Jack And The Beanstock I don't know which ones are the good ones to get? And finally is there a collection of all the Abbott & Costello show episodes in one DVD collection? |
