But you'd think with all that work to assemble the films that they would go the extra mile and restore them as best they could, prior to release...?

Thanks, seeing an thread about the WBA DID but some out on DVD...the problem is they didn't do any restoation to any of them...and they have all the original elements to work with!!!

I think there were forces in play from the studio to make Gorcey and Hall anyother Comedy Team, like Laurel and Hardy or Martin and Lewis!!

From what I've been able to surmise, WBA has done little to nada in the 4 volume set. many buyers commenting on the vairying quality of the films even with in the sets themselves?? I know for a fact that Alph Video does nothing to restore or alture the image quality to their titles. But still...

All are on DVD only, I would love to see a compairison of the box sets I'd assume the best would come from the Warner Achives?? Here is a story on Leo Gorcey -

it's Hercules all over again!!! :)

the outfit with the most ESK/BB titles is Alpha Video, and they are probably the Worse of the lot!! All they do is release the best on hand, and "pop and drop" just to get them out there!! They're all about getting them out there with no restoration or upgrades!! All about the $$$$

the reverse of the Ben Hur vista vision films hackted to fit formats of the old tvs, LOL!!!

yep, Alpha or Ninas Discount Oldies does nothing to upgrade the titles, they just drop and pop out the door!! sad bacause thet do have quite the collection. All of the silent films and the classic serials, as well as the older tv shows!!
