    Old-Fashioned Movie Fun From TCM!
  

*by B***C on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 6, 2011*

The TCM Greatest Classic Films Collection make some terrific classic movies available for a more than reasonable price and this comedy entry can be yours for a little less than that even!  It's a nice package with a sleeve containing the usual individual titles on the front and brief synopses on the back and a flip style case where the first disc is in a holder that flips over to reveal the second (instead of both discs being seated on the inside of the covers).  The movies alone are more than worth the price but some extras (trailers, a cartoon, a short) are included.I'm not a Marx Bros. fan so "A Night At The Opera" is my least fav of the 4 pictures, but it is still worth looking at for the history of the MBs, to wonder how anyone could think they were funny, and Harpo playing, you know, a beautiful tune on the harp.  "Arsenic And Old Lace" is a typical screwball comedy and showcase for Cary Grant and, since you've had to see a high school theater cover it on stage at some time, good chance to see if your drama club was merely trying to copy the 1944 Hollywood version.  "Father Of The Bride" is a fantastic domestic comedy based on the simple premise of a bride's family preparing for a wedding - deservedly included as a classic in this collection.  Spencer Tracy is one of the VERY few actors/resses in history able to really excell in any type of role and this is proof in the comedy department (though there is considerable pathos in this story).  Then there is "The Long Long Trailer" as a showcase for the talents of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz; this film is underrated and kind of steps up from the wedding theme of FOTB to a honeymoon motif.  If you've ever pulled a camper/trailer, tried to back one, make a turn at a tight intersection with one, level one in a downpour, or had one fly past you on the highway only to realize it's yours (yes, it happened to me!  Hook up those safety chains people!) you can't help but appreciate the humor of the situations the wedded couple find themselves in trying to pull their 50' mobile home around the country!  Unfortunately, the monstrosity also causes some strife for the newlyweds.  Most viewers probably can't shake the "Lucy" identities of the 2 stars here so they'll see only an extended episode of ILL but this project transcends "I Love Lucy" and is a solid film comedy, oh, and one that the entire family can be invited to watch, something Ms. Ball seemed to do extremely well, and probably not often enough.Bottom line, I guess, is that these are 4 great movies at a better-than-fair price.  P.S.  I want Robert Osborne or Ben Mankiewicz's job!!!

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 17, 2015*

A Night at the Opera is a madcap spree with the Marx Brothers. A conglomeration of music, comedy and a little insanity. Arsenic and Old Lace is a brilliant comedy. Cary Grant plays an author of books against marriage who just got married to the girl next door to his aunts. His aunts have a bad habit of poisoning elderly men with arsenic in the elderberry wine. His brother has escaped from the prison for the criminally insane, and his uncle Teddy thinks he is Teddy Roosevelt. Add a host of policemen, doctors, a judge, a reverend, and family secret and it is riotously funny. Father of the Bride is about the stress of the wedding on the father of the bride. Spencer Tracy is great. The Long, Long, Trailer is a Lucille Ball and Dezi Arnez vehicle for their comedy.
