100 Years of Comedy

Summary: 100 years of comedy
Review: What a great idea to compile the work of all these great comedians onto one DVD. Too bad the idea was carried out by the people who produced this DVD! The film clips (even the more recent ones!) are for the most part extremely poor quality. The film clip soundtracks are so muffled and low in volume that you have to turn up the volume to hear them and then turn the volume back down when the narator begins to speak at a much higher volume. The narrative script is relentless and comes off like an uninspired taped colege lecture. It also overwhelms and distracts from the all too brief film clips (which as I said are mostly of very poor technical quality with horribly muffled sound). The overall effect is very disappointing. I would suggest that the company that produced this DVD recall and start over or give it to a company that has more technical and creative talent. This could have been a great DVD!
