Haven't watched anything in my set as of yet. Sad to hear the silents are in crappy condition. Hopefully, Kino will rerelease those silents from Image in the near future.

Steve, how are the silents that Laurel & Hardy did separately? I notice that Stan has 2 volumes by Kino and Oliver has one volume by Kino. I'm thinking about getting those too.

check out DVDTALK's review - do a search on "Stan Laurel". Sounds like they are a winner..

I have seen some of his early stuff on the now OOP L&H lost films (I have 2). They are so different - I just couldn't get into them. Stan plays a hyperactive smart aleck - I just couldn't accept him as this after seeing him with Hardy for hundreds of films. My daughter disliked Stan solo's so much she now asks me before I play any L&H films "Dad, you're sure this has BOTH of them, right? I don't want to see their solo stuff"

That being said, they ARE very funny.. And for L&H completists, it's a no brainer.

I am just saying that he is a completely different character than when he as in L&H. Just be prepared.

I might pick them up one day.... for now, I am happy watching the UK L&H films.
