Format:DVD
This was a huge disappointment. The box set contains over 20 short films but almost all of them are either Laurel OR Hardy, but not both together. Contains really early silent films of the two individually, but none of the magic of them together. A bit like Wise without Morecombe. I sent it back!

Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This was a massive disappointment. Like the other reviewers I assumed that a box set of "Laurel & Hardy Classics" would actually be a collection of just that. Instead it's 21 obscure shorts, only ONE of which features the two stars together, plus a 1954 interview. Not for the first time I've been had by Amazon. Why can't the contents of the box be described properly (or at all) so that you know what you're getting? If only I had read the reviews first I never would have parted with £36!! I shall be demanding my money back.

Format:DVD
First, the good bit: digitally remastered "Flying Deuces" is a treat, 'March of the Wooden Soldiers' acceptably zany and 'Utopia', their last film, not remastered so poor in quality but what you expect. Now, the disappointing part. The two remaining discs do not contain Laurel and Hardy classic comedy shorts but a series of 12 not very funny 'comedy' shorts starring other people but in which either Laurel or Hardy features a bit. And a public information film about wood (honest) in which they both appear. So if you're a collector looking for every performance ever given by each of these stars, you might be interested; otherwise, like me, you'll be disappointed. To add to the confusion, the box notes for volume 6 correctly give the titles but describe totally different films, making you wonder whether you've just bought a bootleg box set. Buyer beware, I fear..

Not what you expect
This has quite a number of films in it which is good. However, there are only a couple of them which have Laurel AND Hardy in them. Most of them are either Laurel OR Hardy. Read more

Not what I was expecting - yuk!
If you're looking for the fantastic early talkies with BOTH Stan Laurel & Oliver Hardy staring in the same picture, then this is not for you. Read more

Not What it seems
Yes it does contain classics, but from the silent era. Not the Laurel and Hardy films we have come to recognise from TV. Definately just for the avid fans.
