Weiss-O-Rama: 6 Hour Comedy Collection

Packed with six hours worth of goodies, the 2-disc Weiss-O-Rama collection features a treasure-trove of comedy shorts by silent-movie producers, the Weiss Brothers. Though not as well known as silent-movie clowns like Chaplin, Keaton or Lloyd, the Weiss Brothers cranked out classic comedies featuring premier funnymen like Ben Turpin, Snub Pollard and Poodles Hanneford along with legendary characters like Hairbreadth Harry and Izzy and Lizzy. This prized anthology includes commentaries by silent-movie specialist Richard M. Roberts, plus Weiss Brothers bonus shorts, "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" (1923) and "Who Is Safe?" (1925). For classic comedy buffs, this one's a keeper.
