I like some of Hammer's horror movies (own a few sets) and have always been curious to see Andy Clyde Columbia shorts.  I'm only familiar with Clyde as a chameleon type character actor in silent comedies.

OK, so they ain't horror, but these films are Hammer, have Christopher Lee, AND they throw in an Andy Clyde?  Hmm, I may consider it.

I never got a chance to see any of the Andy Clyde Columbia shorts . Well one is better then nothing I guess . Maybe after the stooges sets are done they will start on Andy Clyde , I hope ......

Hmm, Andy Clyde would be nice, but then again, so would DVD packages of the Shemp, Besser and DeRita solo Columbia shorts.  Sony appears to have LOTS of films in it's vault that deserve to see the light-of-day.  OK Sony, let's get crackin'!

In my opinion, it's not the best Clyde short to use for this theme...it's an OK choice, but I would have went with THE PEPPERY SALT instead...now, I am not complaining and I couldn't be happier that Sony is restoring their non-Stooge shorts and giving them some long overdue exposure. Andy made some pretty funny shorts, and he's one of my favorites (I like El Brendel too) Keep 'em coming Sony!
