The Best of Abbott & Costello - Volume 2 (8 Film Collection) Reviews
Good stuff!
While these do not represent A&C's best work(Vol.1 has their best except for "Time of Their Lives" and "A&C meet Frankenstein"), there is still a lot to like. I'm curious about the missing "It Aint Hay", as are others, but releases like "A&C meet Captain Kidd", "The Noose Hangs High", "Rio Rita", etc. are not owned by MCA Universal, so will not be in any of these sets. I guess it's up to Warners or a company like Image to put these titles out.
Great but be careful when buying
I've long been a fan of classic comedy, thanks in large part by my father sitting my siblings and I down to watch the various "Road to..." movies, a Chaplin movie or two, Laurel and Hardy, Three Stooges, and, of course, Abbott & Costello. While working at Target, I was pleasantly surprised to discover of the first volumes release and I picked up a copy quite quickly. I did the same with the second volume as well, hoping to be able to enjoy it as much as I did the first. However, I have in no way enjoyed the second volume even a small amount as much as the first due to the fact that I can't even barely get through one movie without some sort of disc error. No matter which dvd player I use, there is a disc error which causes me to miss upwards of ten minutes of the first two movies on Disc 1 side 1. I've even returned the movie two times now and am on my third copy trying to find one that works. They all have the same sort of disc error with the only difference being that the error varies the timing of the error from set to set. It is also becoming harder and harder to exchange it for a new one since many of the stores I have gone to seem to have stopped carrying it, and one employee at a Northridge Suncoast mentioned that he thought there might possibly have been a recall of the volume 2 set. If you are an avid fan of Abbott and Costello, and have the patience to deal with the disc errors, then feel free to buy these movies as they are really great. But don't forget that I warned you.
