Abbott & Costello Get a Blu-ray Upgrade
Heeeeeeyyyyyy, Abbott!!!
Shout Factory announced today that they will upgrade the 28-film Abbott & Costello: The Complete Universal Pictures Collection box set to Blu-ray under their Shout Select sub-label! Abbott & Costello are more responsible for fostering my love of classic film than just about any other actors, so this is a huge announcement for me. It’s a “day one” purchase for sure.
Here’s the announcement from the Shout Select Facebook page:
We have a BIG set to announce today! Abbott & Costello: The Complete Universal Pictures Collection [80th Anniversary Edition] is out November 5th and features 28 feature films, many of which have NEVER been on Blu-ray! New bonus features are in progress and will be released at a later date.
