Editorial Review: Description: Buzz (Bud Abbott) and Abercrombie (Lou Costello) work in a Tinseltown haircut salon where they usually just take a little off the side. But why not take 10% off the top instead?

Rating:  - Classic A&C Humor, You Won't Find Anything Like It Today!First, the issue of quality. The only quality defect I noticed on my copy were vertical white lines and specks due to scratches on the film throughout parts of the "Harem". As far as I could tell, the quality of the transfer of "In Hollywood" is flawless. I already had these two movies on DVD-R burnt from laser disc, and the quality of these releases is no worse than that of the laser disc. "Lost In A Harem" and "In Hollywood" are two movies Abbott & Costello did with MGM movies studios. The boys ...
