Movie Reviews of The Best of Abbott & Costello, Vol. 1 (Buck Privates / Hold That Ghost / In the Navy / Keep 'Em Flying / One Night in the Tropics / Pardon My Sarong / Ride 'Em Cowboy / Who Done It?)
Movie Review: OVERALL PRETTY GOOD!!!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
I had no problems playing these discs and am happy with the picture quality. I have grudgingly accepted the use of reissue trailers for Universal's films because this seems to be all they have. The major problems are with Buck Privates and One Night In The Tropics. The cast title card for One Night In The Tropics is a replacement and so is the end title. Universal reached the height of laziness with this. The VHS release is all original. It appears they just use whatever print they find lying around at the time. Buck Privates is all original except for the last scene where superimposed on the picture is "re-released by Realart Pictures". This shows not just laziness, but no quality control, a don't care attitude, and a lack of respect for both the film and the consumer. The VHS has a Realart title card but the ending is clean. So they could of very easily used two prints to make one good whole print. That is what really infuriates me. Now I have to hold on to my old VHS. Is there anyone at Universal that really cares about what they put out? The only reason I knocked off one star is because of this problem. It sounds like Universal's "don't care" attitude continues, as evidenced by the problems with the new "complete" collection.
