Re: WHEN COMEDY WAS KING (1960) Robert Youngson

You can actually pick it up for less than $10 at VCI Entertainment's Summer Sale. There are plenty of other treasures worth having too. https://www.vcientertainment.com/product/when-comedy-was-king/

You should still buy the DVD unless you enjoy having YouTube interrupt the film for ads every ten minutes.

Re: Three Stooges shorts on bluray in July

Casual Stooge fans won't pay $150-$175 for this set. And serious Stooge fans won't buy anything that's incomplete. So who is the market for this?

A good early Masquer's Club comedy starring Sam Hardy, Glen Tryon, James Gleason, Syd Saylor, Max Davidson, and directed by Harry Sweet.
