Movie Reviews of The Jackie Gleason Collection

Movie Review: Bait and Switch
Summary: 1 Stars

I was searching on amazon.com for the movie "Soldier in the Rain." This item came up #1. That movie is not on the DVD at all! Instead, what you get is a 1-hour movie made in 1942 and two 1/2-hour appearances on TV variety shows. I returned the DVD.

Summary of The Jackie Gleason Collection

Everyone remembers Jackie Gleason from The Honeymooners, but the comedian was not only a star on the small screen, but the big screen as well. From the 1940's to the 1980's, Gleason starred in dozens of television shows and feature films.

In this DVD collection, see funny man Jackie Gleason in a variety of programs, from his early, lean days hosting television's Cavalcade of Stars to years later, when Gleason guest-starred on The Frank Sinatra TV Show. Included are several of the original theatrical trailers from Gleason's greatest films, including The Hustler, All Through the Night, and Soldier in the Rain.

You'll also get the complete and uncut feature film Lady Gangster. This fast-paced 1942 crime drama stars Faye Emerson (FDR's daughter-in-law!) as an aspiring actress who gets mixed up with a bunch of bank robbers, one of whom is Jackie Gleason himself, in one of his earliest performances.

Disc One of this wonderful collection of the best of Jackie Gleason holds a rare find for fans of "The Great One" - the complete and uncut feature film Lady Gangster. This fast-paced 1942 crime drama stars Faye Emerson (FDR's daughter-in-law!) as an aspiring actress who gets mixed up with a bunch of bank robbers, one of whom is Jackie Gleason himself!

Trivia buffs will note that Lady Gangster was directed by "Florian Roberts," a pseudonym for Robert Florey, who directed the Marx Brothers in "The Cocoanuts" in 1929.

On Disc Two of the Jackie Gleason Collection, "The Great One" joins Ol' Blue Eyes when he guest-stars on The Frank Sinatra TV Show. In this hilarious episode from 1950, Gleason teaches the famous crooner a few camping tricks when they decide to spend the weekend in a cabin up in the hills.

Plus, join Jackie Gleason as he hosts his first variety show, Cavalcade of Stars, where the young comedian not only introduces the events but plays the new marshal in town of a side-splitting cowboy spoof.

And if that's not enough for you, included on Disc Two are several of the original theatrical trailers from Gleason's greatest films, including The Hustler, All Through the Night, and Soldier in the Rain.
