Vitaphone Comedy Collection: Volume One: 1932-1934

This set of 19 two-reel comedies from the Warner vaults starts off with the half-dozen comeback-bid efforts headlined by Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle before his untimely passing, with the balance featuring once-and-future Stooge Shemp Howard. "In the Dough" (1932), "Hey, Pop!" (1932), "How've You Bean?" (1933), "Close Relations" (1933), and "Art Trouble" (1934) (featuring James Stewart, in his first film role) are among the slapstick delights. 6 1/3 hrs. total on two discs. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
