Title: Public domain copies of some rare Joe E. Brown
Review: VCI has assembled three post-Warner Brothers films by Brown plus "Earthworm Tractors." I like Brown a lot, and his personality certainly carries these films, which for the most part are in the B-movie category in my opinion. Still, any lover of comedy and especially Brown should have this in their collection, or at least rent it to view them. The quality is fair - not bad really, but no real restoration seems to have been made here (in fact "The Gladiator" was taken from a 16mm print released by Nu-Art Films). In spite of the lack of real bonus material (though the bios are nice references), the movies contain little gems of routines in them sprinkled here and there. I might have given it three stars if it weren't for Brown's performances, otherwise the quality of both the copies and the original productions is just fair.
