The top 3 kings of comedy are(so says Mr.Youngson)Charles Chaplin,Buster Keaton and Harry Langdon?You're wrong Mr.Youngson,number three would be Harold Lloyd,as anyone with any knowledge of slapstick/20's comedy would tell you.Other than that huge error,this set is a bit too gabby for my taste,and these old-time stars don't need their every move discussed and commented on.Thank goodness I have my "American Slapstick"and my "Slapstick Encyclopedia"sets,as they are far better in every way.

this dvd is worth the price for the 2 movies included in this set. it reminded me of this first 2 movies of silent comedies when i was in grade school. however when i saw it again this dvd after 40 years, i was disappointed that there is not much charlie chaplin this 2 movies than i had realized. laurel and hardy were hilarious in this set. however, this dvd is still great for collection purposes.

The collection is a nice introduction to silent comedy, but the producers seem terrified of letting the movies be SILENT. There's good stuff in here, but the constant narration and heavy-handed sound effects are truly annoying. You're better off with restorations of the real thing.

These are hard to find Laurel and Hardy shorts. With one click, the videos were on their way. The service at Amazon is great and the videos are in sterling quality and exactly what I ordered.

This is more than just a movie. This deserves to be shown in museums. Especially the second half, When Comedy Was King. While there isn't enough (and never will be)shown by some of these true comedy geniuses, and there isn't anything shown of Harold Lloyd, these clips show enough examples of the long lost art of silent comedy to fascinate anyone of any age.This was when cleverness was king, and while I found the narration fun and informative, it wasn't essential. While fans of the genre may be familiar with the likes of Chaplin and Keaton, there are some real pleasant surprises here by the likes of Billy Bevan, Charlie Chase, and the silent Laurel and Hardy,and particularly don't miss Edgar Buchanan at the ice cream parlor.This is true comedy, a hilarious night for the whole family.
