Hal Roach Forgotten Comedies

There's a reason these comedies are forgotten.  This features Turnabout, The Housekeeper's Daughter, and Road Show.  Carole Landis, an underrated lovely actress of the 40's, is featured in two movies here.  There's a lot of talent on this disc Joan Bennett, Adolphe Menjou, and Patsy Kelly.  It's just that the movies are mediocre.  Recommended only if you're a Carole Landis fan.
