Film Chest Media Group will be teaming with Topics
Entertainment on Dec. 6 for the release of the 12-disc mega-collection titled The
Best of Sherlock Holmes Collection.
You can’t watch the material presented here in just one day — even if
you went non-stop!
68 selections in all, including Basil Rathbone and Nigel
Bruce starring in a collection of classic Sherlock Holmes films, plus other
rare Sherlock Holmes screen delights — including his first film appearance
(1900 – Sherlock Holmes Baffled) — and the complete first season of the
1954/55 Sherlock Holmes television series starring Ronald Howard as
Sherlock Holmes, Howard Marion Crawford as Doctor Watson and Archie Duncan as
Inspector Lestrade.
Other treats included in this mega-set are a collection of
theatrical trailers, the 1939 radio series, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
(46 broadcasts in all featuring Basil Rathbone as Holmes) and the 1928 Felix
the Cat cartoon titled “Sure-Locked Homes.”
Also ready for the gift-giving season on Dec. 6 is the price-to-own
four-disc set showcasing the comedy talents of Betty White. The SRP is just $9.98!!!
Titled Betty White in Life With Elizabeth and Date
With the Angels, which is quite a mouthful, features 20 episodes from
Betty White’s Life with Elizabeth television series and 21 episodes from Date
With the Angels.
Life with Elizabeth ran from 1953 through 1955 and teamed her
with Del Moore as a husband and wife team.
What was unique about each show is that the comedy set-ups were divided
into three short comedy routines or “comedy bits,” complete with Jack Narz as
the “announcer” — sort of a referee for the mischif that Elizabeth (Betty
White) would cause and leave her husband Alvin (Moore) fuming.
After a year off (1956), Betty White returned with the sitcom,
Date
With the Angels. She played
Vickie Angel and her husband, Gus (Bill Williams), was an insurance salesman
who constantly found himself bewildered by Vickie’s self-induced predicaments!
