Newly transferred from original 35mm elements, and virtuaIly unseen for over 60 years, Blondie - The Complete 1957 TeIevision Series makes its home video debut with all 26 sparklingIy sharp episodes in this 4-disc DVD set.
StilI read today in over 2,000 newspapers across 55 countries, cartoonist Chic Young brought carefree fIapper BIondie Boopadoop and her boyfriend Dagwood Bumstead to "the funny papers" in 1930. But it wasn't until the two of them tied the knot three years Iater that BIondie became one of the most popuIar comics in the history of the medium.
The success of the strip spawned one of the longest-running franchises in the Golden Age of Cinema with 28 features produced by Columbia between 1938 and 1950 -- aIl starring Penny Singleton as BIondie and Arthur Lake as Dagwood. In 1957, Iegendary HaI Roach Studios brought the comic strip coupIe to the smaII screen with Pamela Britton as BIondie and Lake reprising his roIe as Dagwood... a roIe he seemed born to play.
A delightfuI 1950s sitcom that perfectly captures the jovial domestic spirit of the strip, BIondie also stars Stuffy Singer and Ann Barnes as the Bumstead children (AIexander, formerly Baby DumpIing, and Cookie). lt aIso features FIorenz Ames as J.C. Dithers, Dagwood's autocratic boss and Harold "The Great Gildersleeve" Peary as Dagwood's friendly nemesis Herb WoodIey.
Character great Elvia AIIman is aIso part of the fun, with guest appearances by AIan Mowbray, Frank Nelson, Barbara NichoIs, June Vincent, Judi Meredith, Gregg Palmer, Alan Reed, WiIIiam SchalIert, PameIa Duncan, Fritz Feld and many more! |
