 great collection for any A&C Lover January 3, 2009
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
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. December 16, 2008
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.

[[ASIN:B001EXE2Y2 Abbott and Costello: The Complete Universal Pictures Collection]
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 December 8, 2008

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?

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood: From the Secret Files of Harry Pennypacker
Shadow Watcher
Nobody Drowns in Mineral Lake
ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN may be the comedians' most popular movie, but that's not the primary reason to purchase Universal's new fabulous gift set, ABBOTT & COSTELLO: THE COMPLETE UNIVERSAL PICTURES COLLECTION.
All true Abbott and Costello fans, most likely, already have the studio's four previously released A&C collections in their DVD libraries. So, why buy this one?
First, this 15-disc set includes all 28 movies that the comics made for Universal, including IT AIN'T HAY (1943) which, for unknown legal reasons, was not included in any of THE BEST OF ABBOTT & COSTELLO sets.
Adapted from a story by Damon Runyon, IT AIN'T HAY is a fun movie, and contains such A&C routines as "Mudder/Fodder" and "Betting Parlor".
Second, unlike the earlier multi-problem, double-sided/double-layer discs in the BEST OF sets, these discs are single-sided with only 2 movies (rather than 4) per disc. No problems here.
Finally, this set is handsomely packaged with a large box that not only contains the DVDs (including one devoted to Special Features) in seven separate cases, but also a 44-page book that has fascinating background information and trivia about the comedians and each of their movies.
From ONE NIGHT IN THE TROPICS (1940) and BUCK PRIVATES (1941) through THE NAUGHTY NINETIES (1945), which contains the "Who's on First" routine, to ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET THE MUMMY (1955), is there a better gift for the Abbott & Costello fan?
