Hi Matt!Matt Hough said:I am glad her entire Paramount/Universal output will be in one place, but I HATE having to repurchase films I already have (in the same resolution). But I'll likely bite the bullet since I do want everything of hers from this period. I can then put the laserdisc box set with Night After Night (among others) in storage.

And yet, no MY LITTLE CHICKADEE Blu-ray, apparently!JoHud said:Aside from being better known, the main reason is that WC Fields is in it, so it gets added to both star collections. I have 2 Mae West sets that include it and 3 WC Fields ones as well (I think). Now there's this one.
Too many Chickadees...
I'm in! While a bluray release would have been nice, I am happy to have single-sided DVDs for all of these films.

I'm pretty sure it will. These Universal sets always plummet after a couple of months.rmw650 said:Just nice to see all of her classic films being placed in one compilation instead of having to buy separate DVDs for each film. The price of this is somewhat reasonable but hoping it goes down another ten bucks to really make it a nice deal.
In this case, I think it'll be fine. They release a WC Fields set like this a couple years ago, 10 movies on 3 discs, and they looked fine to me. That the movies are 4x3, black and white, and mono seems to make up for the length.Tony Bensley said:I've noticed that the 9 Features are on only 3 DVDs. Assuming chronological order, and that the IMDB posted running times are correct, Disc 3 will contain 243 minutes of content, which slightly exceeds the 240 minute capacity for dual layered DVDs!
I'm still in, but am a bit concerned.
CHEERS!
