| The purpose of this page is to identify the differences in various prints of the films available on DVD. It's also a convenient way of finding out where certain films appear on which DVD as well. Each film lists the DVD sleeve, opening title card and random scene (in some cases this will be the opening shot of the film) as well as the actual running time of the film. Several of the solo films in particular have been issued numerous times on DVD with varying degrees of visual quality; so this is why I felt the need to highlight this here. The screenshots herein have not been altered, or enhanced in any way. What you see here is EXACTLY what you get on the print. Symbols key: ◊ Stan Laurel solo film ♦ Oliver Hardy solo film • Laurel and Hardy film The numbers in [brackets] after each listing indicate the number of different prints of that title have been reviewed in each comparison. |
