"Six DVD set, B&W, 67 silent, 3 talkie films. Volume 1: Charlie's Antics. 17 short comedies. Volume 2: Classic Chaplin. 18 short films. Volume 3: Charlie Chaplin. 17 more short films. All 52 are from 1914 to 1919. Volume 4: Classic Shorts. Ten from Buster Keaton, 1921 to 1923. Volume 5, three Buster Keaton silent shorts from 1922 to 1923: The Paleface; Daydreams; Love Nest; and L'il Abner (talkie, 1940); Parlor, Bedroom and Bath (talkie, 1931); posters. Volume 6: three more from Buster Keaton: Steamboat Bill, Jr. (1928); The General (1927); The Villain Still Pursued Her (talkie, 1941); Trivia Quiz.
Only Steamboat Bill, Jr. (1928) and The General (1927) are worth seeing twice. Both are excellent films by Buster Keaton."

"Delivery and all was fine. It would have been nice to have a larger photo or some description of the video. I didn't realize it only had Keaton and Chaplin. It looked like an anthology with other actors as well."
