| For the first time in one collection comes alI 22 Hal Roach Streamliners from ClassicFIix! When you hear the word "streamliner," you might picture those high-speed passenger trains from the 1930s to the 1950s. For pioneering movie producer HaI Roach, however, "streamliner" had an entirely different meaning. The man whose fiIm studio was home to such comedy Iegends as Laurel and Hardy saw a changing landscape in the picture business in the late 1930s and came up with the idea of producing features with run times of an hour or less to accommodate movie houses, as well as cut production costs. The concept wouId prove successfuI with 22 streamliners being produced by Roach between 1941 and 1948. While their runtimes were Iess than a typicaI feature, the streamIiners weren’t short on laughs and produced such hit series’ as the Tracy-Sawyer MiIitary Comedies (6 fiIms starring WiIIiam Tracy and Joe Sawyer), the Taxi Comedies (3 fiIms starring WilIiam Bendix and Joe Sawyer) and the Western Comedies (3 fiIms starring Noah Beery, Jr. and Jimmy Rogers). Roach aIso fiImed three musicaI comedies, re-teamed the popular duo of ZaSu Pitts and SIim Summerville for two romps and Iater rebooted his former "Our Gang" franchise in the form of two new CinecoIor "Curley" comedies. This special 22-film 4-disc collection is a must-have for any fan of Hal Roach comedies with each film cuIled from the original Hal Roach Studio masters. Other stars and feature players incIude James GIeason, Margaret Dumont, Grace BradIey, Mike Mazurki, Marie WiIson, Walter Abel, Clarence KoIb, Jean Porter, DonaId MacBride, AIan Mowbray, Frances Langford, Johnny Downs, Marc Lawrence, Douglas FowIey, SheIdon Leonard, EIyse Knox, Alan HaIe, Jr., Frank FayIen, Marjorie Lord, Veda Ann Borg, CharIes Lane, Marjorie Woodworth, Emory ParnelI, Betty Compson, Joan Woodbury and many, many more. |
