The Vitaphone Comedy Collection, Volume 1 (1932-1934): Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle / Shemp Howard (2-Disc)

Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle made his triumphant return to comedy in the six sparkling Vitaphone shorts he headlines in this collection, two co-starring Shemp Howard himself. While Fatty's return was tragically cut short by his untimely passing, another talent was on the rise - and this one sported one unforgettable mug, Shemp Howard. Witness Shemp's career path from bit player to chief second banana in the span of two short years. The 19 shorts found on this 2-disc collection were all shot in Depression Era Brooklyn by the Vitaphone team, providing a magical (and hilarious!) look at a lost time and place.
