Two of my fave films. I bought a boxset and this was the one that was missing. Very happy I could replace it.

Same as above
Packing poor ,neither cardboard nor thinly padded envelopes are sufficient for a lot of goods ESPECIALLY DVD's but then I don't suppose anyone cares as long as they get paid!

Abbott & Costello Hold that Ghost
Herrliche nostalgische Filme mit Abbott & Costello. Ganz besonders gut finde ich den Film "Hold that Ghost". Diese DVD bietet einen schönen Rückblick in die 40er Jahre und man kann herzlich darüber lachen.

A Double Helping of Laughter !
Two great films with Abbott & Costello at their funniest . Thought " Hold That Ghost " had a bit more story and some great gags to enjoy. In the Navy gave us an insight into how they would have done their bit for their country.
