[SIZE= 18px]2011 EDIT: The discussion of "Abbott and Costello Meet Captain Kidd" starts on page 3.[/SIZE]
I own several DVDs of Abbott and Costello films:
Africa Screams (appears to be public domain)
Buck Privates (Universal release via Image-Entertainment)
Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (Universal release)
Abbott and Costello Meet The Mummy (Universal release)
Here is what I am wondering:
Why does Africa Screams appear to be a
public domain title, when it was made after Buck Privates?
The picture quality on my DVD of Africa Screams S-U-C-K-S.... I suspcet
because it is from a public domain release,
mine is not from Madacy, but the picture quality would
imply that!
Are any of the public domain versions of Africa Screams better than others?
Will there be a better version released through the
studio that made the film?
Also, what other Abbott and Costello films are
worthy of buying on DVD, and from which manufacturer?
Any information is greatly appreciated.
