Buy This Item First Kings of Comedy Collection (The Golden Age Of Comedy... by Genius Entertainment  Available from Amazon  $14.99  on 8-25-2008     The First Kings of Comedy Collection is a hilarious, joyous, and timeless tribute to the era of silent slapstick comedy and all the uproarious comedians who built the comedy genre. The collection consists of two great feature-length compilations, The Golden Age of Comedy and When Comedy Was King. From documentary producer Robert Youngson and the Hal Roach studios, The First Kings of Comedy preserves some of the greatest moments in comedy lore and pays special tribute to all of the silent era’s greatest clowns, including Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy, Will Rogers, Carole Lombard, Jean Harlow, Charley Chase, Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, Charlie Chaplin, Harry Langdon and Buster Keaton. Reader Reviews This is more than just a movie. This deserves to be shown in museums. Especially the second half, When Comedy Was King. While there isn't enough (and never will be)shown by some of these true comedy geniuses, and there isn't anything shown of Harold Lloyd, these clips show enough examples of the long lost art of silent comedy to fascinate anyone of any age.This was when cleverness was king, and while I found the narration fun and informative, it wasn't essential. While fans of the genre may be familiar with the likes of Chaplin and Keaton, there are some real pleasant surprises here by the likes of Billy Bevan, Charlie Chase, and the silent Laurel and Hardy,and particularly don't miss Edgar Buchanan at the ice cream parlor.This is true comedy, a hilarious night for the whole family.
