Negative Positive
Title: A long-overdue boxed set that whets the appetite for the next volume!
Review: I have done a slow burn for years, simmering with frustration, waiting for Paramount to release the work of this major ...MAJOR comedy team! This is a straight-up, no-frills sampling of their early B&W films (and that's OK, so long as I have the films themselves ...I could care less about "special features" and/or supplements). I am encouraged by the fine re-mastering that has been done and hope that that quality will be maintained for the June release of Volume 2 (which I have already pre-ordered), most specifically restoring their later "Technicolor" works to their original Vista-Vision splendor. I am surprised that "At War With The Army" did not make it in this batch ...but guess there must be a copyright issue, as there have been many low-quality renditions available on VHS, Laserdisc & even DVD, for years (I assume that the 16mm print must have fallen into the public domain).
Is the review positive or negative?
