Hollywood comedy films from the Teens to the Fifties

"MILL CREEK ENTERTAINMENT's COMEDY CLASSICS 100 Movie Pack is primarily a repackaging of their COMEDY KINGS 50 Movie Pack and COMEDY CLASSICS 50 Movie Pack. Exceptions are "Ghost Parade" and "La Cucaracha," which don't appear on either set. Also, the groups of shorts that were once called "Festivals" (Buster Keaton, Keystone Kops, Stan Laurel, Fatty Arbuckle and Our Gang) are here detailed as individual movies, thus bringing the total film count up to 116.
Transfer quality of MCE's public domain movies is uniformly good. Their dual-side recorded discs usually contain two titles per side and are housed in gloss-coated heavy paper sleeves. Easy access storage boxes are sturdy and remarkably compact. A small percentage of these are obviously dubbed from broadcast TV, thus you may see the "In Stereo Where Available" logo at a movie's outset or notice brief black spaces which once represented commercial breaks.
Details of all 116 titles can be found on COMMENT #1 (see link below). Included are 1 to 10 viewer poll ratings, country of origin (if other than USA), years of release and best-known actors for each film."
Laugh, Laugh, Laugh!
