4.0 out of 5 stars Underated comedy, 2 Sep 2007
By Mr. G. Henderson "wexford" (GB) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It is good to see some of Alistair Sim's films (in addition to his work on the St Trinians series) being issued on DVD. I'm particularly pleased to see Laughter In Paradise issued. This is one of Sim's best and funniest films with good performances all round and, apart from the social setting, it hasn't seemed to have dated-dealing as it does in a very humourous way with issues of greed and justice.Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars At Last, Laughter In Paradise On DVD, 1 Nov 2007
By John Meanwood (Leeds, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
I have been looking for Laughter In Paradise on DVD for a long time after my VHS version wore out and it is not shown on television that often. Unfortunately, so far it is only available in this box set.

Although The Green Man is also worth watching as it is an Alistair Sim classic, Laughter In Paradise is my favourite with a clever twist at the end. These two films make the price worth paying.

4.0 out of 5 stars some of the best of Alastair Sim, 10 Dec 2007
By Sun 28 "Suna 28" (London, England) - See all my reviews
Great to have this collection. Shame that "The Happiest Years of Your Life" isn't included. Most of these are already available individually. It seems daft not to take this opportunity to bring out more of his work that is so important. The original "headmaster/headmistress" Searle influenced film made before the St. Trinians series. Personally one of my favorite films, currently changing hands on old video for ridiculous amounts of money. Still obviously fantastic for people who haven't already bought most of the content on individual disc. Quite expensive if all you want is "Laughter in Paradise".
