Editorial Review:
Australian-born comedian Leon Errol was perhaps best known for his two-reelers produced at RKO during the 1930s and 40s. In these very enjoyable light-hearted comedy shorts, with ingenious and surprising endings, Errol usually portrayed a henpecked husband who was always falling out of favor with his suspicious and jealous wife. Regardless of the good intentions of Leon Errol, he always managed to get into trouble. And all his attempts to avoid these predicaments usually just snowballed into more complicated webs of funny coincidences, which would have audiences rolling on the floor with laughter - even to this day.

Rating:  - A lovable schlemiel
My introduction to Leon Errol was as a teenager, when a local (New York) TV station broadcast the movie "Higher and Higher," a delightful 1943 musical comedy that introduced Frank Sinatra and featured Jack Haley, Barbara Hale, Dooley Wilson, Mary Wickes, Mel Torme and Victor Borge.
Errol was superb as the schlemiel who's about to be evicted from his 5th Ave. mansion until his staff comes to his rescue.
Several years later another local program called "Reel Camp" showed both ... Read More
Rating: - Great Stuff!
Great DVD compilation of Leon Errol's shorts. This man was one of the true "funnymen" of all time. He looks funny, he acts funny, he walks and talks funny. Some people are comics, some are comedians, Leon Errol is just naturally funny. His reactions are priceless and makes me wish there were still comedies being made that really make you laugh out loud. Not grin, not chuckle, but laugh. The only reason I didn't rate it at 5 stars was the picture quality of some of the prints are poor. ... Read More
Rating: - Long Live Leon's Legacy!
How can one short, paunchy, bald, old guy get mixed up in so many marital misunderstandings and mishaps? It's easy if the guy happens to be Leon Errol.
I bought this set not really knowing much about Errol except what I had read about him. I was totally surprised at how great these short subjects were! I was expecting fair and I got great.
And what's so amazing is that other stars of long-running short subject series usually experienced a decline in the quality of their series as the years ... Read More
