Abbott & Costello: The Complete Universal Pictures Collection
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
In, Abbott & Costello: The Complete Universal Pictures Collection, we get just that, all 28 of the comedy-classics they made for Universal Pictures between the years—1940 and 1955; until they finally parted ways and ended the greatest comedy-duo of-all-time! Most Americans (and people around the world), of my generation and of earlier ones, will cherish the memories that Abbott and Costello truly symbolize and represent for many of us—a nicer America, time and place, etc. Who doesn’t remember watching the Abbott and Costello comedy-features that were broadcast (on free-television, no cable yet, or pay per view), almost every Sunday afternoon—once upon a time? True or not, many of us cannot help but recall fond memories and nostalgic indulgence when, we once again watch these timeless and wonderful comedies. And funny and silly they certainly were and, I love every minute of it!
There are 15 discs in all: 2 discs in 7 separate folders, with 2 features per disc (the last folder contains 3 discs; with the last disc consisting of bonus features, etc.). My favorite Abbott and Costello features are all here: In Society 1944, Hit The Ice 1943, Buck Privates 1941, Hold That Ghost 1941, Who Done It 1942, The Naughty Nineties 1945, Pardon My Sarong 1942, Abbott And Costello Meet Frankenstein 1948, Abbott And Costello Meet The Killer, Boris Karloff 1949, etc., etc. I just wanted to highlight the ones I cherish and love the most. I wonder if the younger generation can/will appreciate this truly and genuine part of American culture/history. I know that I and, many more people like myself am very grateful that these films have been restored/re-released in this wonderful collection and, is available for everyone to enjoy as their very own. Thank-you—Universal Pictures.
All the films have been digitally re-mastered to a pristine state, the picture and sound quality is absolutely fantastic. NTSC, English (subtitles: English SDH, French, Spanish), plus lots of extras, 44 page booklet, etc., NR
