5.0 out of 5 stars Rag and Bone Heaven 3 Sep 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
These films compliment the TV series. They are in true tradition pure classic genius. We shall not see the likes of them again for a long time.The films are on two seperate DVDs and unfortunately do NOT have subtitles in English, which is a pity as they would be priceless to have. Having said this, well worth the purchase price as they will only be hard to find later, much like the double DVD set of " On the Buses" movies.

4.0 out of 5 stars One Film Is Below Par, The Other Is Great. 7 July 2007
By Scott TOP 1000 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
These two film versions of that all-time great TV comedy Steptoe and Son are a rather mixed bag. It is perhaps widely accepted amongst fans that the second film is perhaps the better of the two and in this I agree.

The first film 'Steptoe and Son' is not bad but is nothing really special either, the trouble is that the storyline just does not feel like Steptoe and Son, being a kind of tragic comedy and an emotional rollercoster that just does not fit the characters.
The story deals with the consequences of Harold getting married to a stripper whom Albert doesn't approve of and ends up with the old man tagging along for the honeymoon, after the inevitable split up a baby is left on their doorstep, Harold of course assumes that the kid is his and is horrifed when the baby is taken back.
It is not really funny at all and doesn't really raise a smile let alone a laugh and is probably Galton and Simpson's weakest work on Steptoe and Son.
The good point that keeps me watching is the always superb performances of Wilfrid Brambel and Harry H Corbett and that alone lifts this very average film to a higher level.

Steptoe and Son Ride Again is vastly superior and feels like the series that we all know and love, the jump in quality from the first film is remarkable and it seems as if the lessons were learned in that most people don't want the format of something so good meddling with.
The film is about one of Harold's get-rich-quick schemes and buys a greyhound from the Godfather of Shepherds Bush, Frankie Barrow, played brilliantly as he was in the TV series by Henry Woolf, this provides a continuity link to the series that was sadly missing from the first film.

Ok so the films are not generally considered as good as the TV shows but they are still better than most comedies nowadays and well worth a look imo.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic comedy! 5 Feb 2011
This DVD is great for anyone who loves the bitter-sweet comedy of 'Steptoe & Son'. Both films are worth watching, can't beat the wonderful characterisations from Wilfred Brambell and Harry H Corbett. Excellent price for a double bill.
