Bad sound, worse picture. Don't buy it!
The picture quality is awful, unwatchable. Hissing sound all the time. There is good options, like Robert Youngston's "The First Kings of Comedy", a two hours compilation of silents: Laurel & Hardy, Keystone Kops, Chaplin, Ben Turpin, Harry Langdon and many others.
Unrestored silent comedies.
Maybe not restored, but still classics.
Air Pockets (1924): A wacky inventor tries to recruit investors for his folding flivver - the world's first compact car. Starring Lige Conley, Earl Montgomery, Sunshine Hart and Olive Borden; Directed by Fred Hibbard.
Don't Butt In! (1926): A laborer must defeat a huge, dim-witted bully in order to win the hand of the boss's pretty daughter. Starring Paul Parrott, Ethel Broadhurst and Sunshine Sammy; Produced by Hal Roach; Directed by Raymond Grey.
Grab the Ghost (1920): Newlyweds are shocked to discover that their honeymoon home is haunted by ghosts. Starring Snub Pollard and Marie Mosquini; Produced by Hal Roach; Directed by Alf Goulding.
The Daredevil (1923): A movie director plucks reluctant Joe Magee from the rodeo, intent on turning him into his next cowboy star. Starring Ben Turpin, Kewpie Morgan and Madeline Hurlock; Directed by Del Lord.
Interesting
Interesting to see what innocent comedy delighted my great-grandparents and what still makes my kids giggle. Great to have this in the library.
