Distinguishing itself from other variety shows of its time, THE COLGATE COMEDY HOUR alternated hosts from week to week. When this big-budget show first aired in 1950, the original hosts were Fred Allen, Eddie Cantor, Dean Martin, and Jerry Lewis. Appearing on the show at least once a month, regulars Martin and Lewis took turns with drop-in hosts like Phil Silvers, and Ray Bolger. Through subsequent seasons, Donald O`Connor, Budd Abbot, and Lou Costello became regulars as well. Hosting for only one season were big name comedians Bob Hope and Jimmy Durante. By the show`s last episode in 1955, only Martin and Lewis remained. Outlasting everyone else, it was these two that really made the show what it was. This set includes some of their best comedic and musical performances in five episodes. Special guests include Polly Bergen, Bob Fosse, and Dorothy Dandridge among others.

The life of a dysfunctional English family provides the basis for this hit show from BBC America. Housewife Alison (Amanda Redman) is a lottery winner who keeps her winnings a closely guarded secret for fear that it will corrupt her family. Meanwhile, her husband (Peter Davidson) is embroiled in an affair, her eldest daughter disrupts the suburban idyl by becoming a lesbian, and her other daughter gets pregnant. It all adds up to a humorous poke at British life, illustrating that everything is not always as rosy as it seems behind the twitching suburban curtains.DVD Features:Region 1Boxed SetFull Frame - 1.33Text/Photo Galleries: Stills/Photos Filmographies

This live video of Ms. Argerich, one of the greatest pianists of both the 20th and 21st centuries, recorded in the CBC Montreal studios is possibly the only existing footage that captures her playing a concerto. Here, she chooses Schumann`s Piano Concerto, along with Liszt`s
Funerailles,
and Ravel`s
Leux d`eau.
An absolutely mesmerizing performance, and the chance to see Ms. Argerich`s hands as she plays with both blinding speed and an even touch is something not to be missed.
