You can get Six of a Kind as part of a three-film Burns & Allen collection and The Big Broadcast of 1938 is available with another early Bob Hope vehicle College Swing (both R1 Universal single discs).Paul Moran wrote:The 7 films unique to the R2 collection are:

If I Had A Million (1932)
Tillie and Gus (1933)
Mississippi (1935)
Follow The Boys (1944)
Six Of A Kind (1934)
The Big Broadcast of 1938 (1938)
Follow the Boys is being released individually in October in the UK by Universal. I got it as part of their Marlene Dietrich Collection, though both her contribution and Fields' are negligible.
It's a pity Universal dropped two films (Alice in Wonderland and Mrs Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch) from their original line-up on the UK Fields Collection.

It is sold on HMV for 13£ and on base.com for 12£, less than a quid per film.

I've got this set, and I'm slowly making my way through it. So nice to know I've got copies of such a broad collection of W.C.

I received this today, at less than 12 pounds from http://www.blahdvd.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;, and watched The Bank Dick as a starter. It's too bad the trailers or A&E Bio from the Region 1 are not on the UK set, but with the price and the film content, it seems pretty bad to pass up for people who like 30's comedies.

Re: Universal: W.C. Fields Collection 10-disc 17 films R2
Almost a full year since I received it, I now noticed that 3 discs are defective, having a strange looking cloudy spot on the outer layer of the discs, and 1 movie on each disc freeze in the middle of the picture on all my players I've tested.
Contacted the etailer I bought it from, but they said it's way passed the window of returns policy. Tried contacting Universal UK about replacements, but no reply from them after a week....
Any ideas on what I should do about getting 3 of the 10 discs replaced without buying it all over again?
