New DVD boxed set has all 28 Universal films--including It Ain't Hay
A new premium boxed set of all 28 Abbott and Costello films produced at Universal was released on October 28, 2008. Included, for the first time on home video or DVD, is the 1943 film "It Ain't Hay," which had been out of circulation due to copyright issues.
Unlike the "Best of Abbott and Costello" collection, which packed four movies on a double-sided DVD, the new Complete Universal Pictures Collection has two films per DVD.
The collection includes audio commentary on six films, including "Buck Privates," "The Time of Their Lives" and "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein." Also included are the compilation "The World of Abbott and Costello" (1964), the special "Abbott and Costello Meet Jerry Seinfeld" (1994), and the documentary "Abbott and Costello Meet the Monsters" (2000). Other extras include a special booklet, "Abbott and Costello: The Universal Story," and 20 theatrical trailers. The set retails for $119.98. Order at Amazon for $83.99.
