    Vivendi and RHI Press Release: Laurel & Hardy: The Essential Collection

    The rights of films that have not moved into public domain are all over the place. The Hal Roach estate own some, especially the streamlines. King World, now CBS owns a few, Republic, now Paramount owns a few, etc. Then there are the individuals like Agee that own some also. The library is a...

    Vivendi and RHI Press Release: Laurel & Hardy: The Essential Collection

    I have no problem with the packaging. When I received it, I checked each disc and they were all OK, no scratches and no glue. I have pulled the disks out several times while watching the films and again I did have a problem. Now the Universal and Sony packaging for their collections is...

    Vivendi and RHI Press Release: Laurel & Hardy: The Essential Collection

    Very happy with the quality of the transfers. I received it yesterday and sat down to just play around and watch a few thing, but ended up watching four discs. This is just about the best I have seen THE MUSIC BOX look in years. The same with OUR RELATIONS. I have not had any problems with...

    Kind of on a different topic, but I see Laughsmith's web site is gone so I guess is the collection of Our Gang, before they talked.

    Vivendi and RHI Press Release: Laurel & Hardy: The Essential Collection

    I purchased an all region DVD player just so I could watch the UK Laural & Hardy set. That was one of the best buys I ever made, not only for hours of enjoyment from Stan and Ollie, but I started enjoying the British films and that opened a new world for me. Just discovering Will Hays, Norman...

    Doubt it. Not sure there was enough time to revise.

    I would say this is the final packaging.

    Vivendi and RHI Press Release: Laurel & Hardy: The Essential Collection

    Yep I also think that this will heat up again in October. I don't think there is much more to report. We know the line up of titles, the extras, the number of discs, and the packaging. Until we actually see the transfers and early copies are sent, then I would expect it to be quite.

    Vivendi and RHI Press Release: Laurel & Hardy: The Essential Collection

    I second the recommendation on the book "From the 40's Forward." It cleared up a lot of the L&H history of the later years for me and allowed for new appreciation of the Fox films.

    This is outstanding. I can not wait to spend the hours of enjoying these films again with better transfers.
