I bought the two R1 sets last year, so I only got 10 films for £45 pounds.

The 7 films unique to the R2 collection are:

Million Dollar Legs (1932)
If I Had A Million (1932)
Tillie and Gus (1933)
Mississippi (1935)
Follow The Boys (1944)
Six Of A Kind (1934)
The Big Broadcast of 1938 (1938)

Million Dollar Legs is one of his best films and i only have it on VHS tape
here in the states so i hope down the road somebody will release it as a single since i have most of his other films.

You can get Six of a Kind as part of a three-film Burns & Allen collection and The Big Broadcast of 1938 is available with another early Bob Hope vehicle College Swing (both R1 Universal single discs).

Follow the Boys is being released individually in October in the UK by Universal. I got it as part of their Marlene Dietrich Collection, though both her contribution and Fields' are negligible.

It's a pity Universal dropped two films (Alice in Wonderland and Mrs Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch) from their original line-up on the UK Fields Collection.

It is sold on HMV for 13£ and on base.com for 12£, less than a quid per film.

I've got this set, and I'm slowly making my way through it. So nice to know I've got copies of such a broad collection of W.C.

I received this today, at less than 12 pounds from http://www.blahdvd.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;, and watched The Bank Dick as a starter. It's too bad the trailers or A&E Bio from the Region 1 are not on the UK set, but with the price and the film content, it seems pretty bad to pass up for people who like 30's comedies.

Jeez, I think I paid about ten times that! Can't recall exactly. just make sure you remember you got it ridiculously cheap and its worth an oath-more than that!

Almost a full year since I received it, I now noticed that 3 discs are defective, having a strange looking cloudy spot on the outer layer of the discs, and 1 movie on each disc freeze in the middle of the picture on all my players I've tested.

Contacted the etailer I bought it from, but they said it's way passed the window of returns policy. Tried contacting Universal UK about replacements, but no reply from them after a week....

Any ideas on what I should do about getting 3 of the 10 discs replaced without buying it all over again?
