The Original Mr. Nice Guy in the Wrong Place at the Wrong Time

Joe E Brown was a great comedian in the 1930's and on usually playing the nice guy that is dragging everyone to straight to Hades with his good intentions. Mix ups, mis-heard, assumptions and trying to do the right thing has Mr. Brown crossing paths with contractors, football players, boxers and of course his girl to be. Some of it is madcap and other parts are tounge in cheek, but if you are in tune with the era you'll laugh and smile at the antics. (Also, if you're interested in vintage clothing and fashion this film has a lot to see and Joe's suits are outstanding!) There are some thrills and chills for the day but rest assured it will all work out ok. Our Gang-Little Rascals fans will spot a young Dickie Moore in the one back to college film.

If you're in tune with the time these films were made, you should have some good laughs.

Heeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyy!!!

It's not Joe E. Brown's best work, but it's not his worst, either. Until SOMEBODY unlocks the Warner Brothers vault and puts out Joe's best (as a lead actor, that is--I'm not talking about Showboat and Some Like It Hot), namely Alibi Ike and Elmer the Great, this will have to do.

Clean, Nearly Slapstick Comedy from Another Era

I bought this set because I saw Earthworm Moving Machine on TV years ago and LOVED IT! IT truly is one of the most hilarious, uproarious comedies I've ever watched. If you love old movies, can handle black and white and don't mind the lesser quality and occasionally unstable movement of older filming, you will be engrossed in very fine, nearly slapstick comedy. Joe Brown acts the part of the inflated ego driven, bumbling idiot as well as any actor who ever lived. He is zany Lucy in masculine form. The other comedies in this series may fall along these lines as well but could lack some of the sheer vigor of EMM. These movies represent the typical era mini dramas of falling in love, trying to impress the girl of your dreams (clean enough for children of all ages) and eventually succeeding...but perhaps not with the girl of your dreams but a real dreamgirl. Earthworm is amazing because there do not appear to be any stuntmen or standins and to see what these actors were willing to do for a laugh is shocking. Some of the footage is so riotously funny you may literall split a gut laughing. I borrowed this film to my sister, a nurse, who played it for a friend who had undergone surgery...she literally split her stitches laughing. That's my only caution, otherwise enjoy it in good health!

Joe E. Brown Comedy Collector's Set

Joe E. Brown ALWAYS makes me laugh. A true classic which is well worth the money spent.

WE NEED MORE JOE E. BROWN TITLES AVAILABLE!

Though by far not the best of Brown's films, I have to admit that it is great to have four of his "B" comedies available on DVD. As usual, VCI have given us a very nice selection and for a very reasonable price.

So, when can we expect to see Volume 2, VCI? I'll be the first to pick it up.
