Wheeler & Woolsey - The RKO Comedy Classics Collection Vol. 2 – DVD

In this riotous and rollicking six-film collection, the comedy team supreme, Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey, serves up laughs galore, with extra sides of ribald, whimsy and romance. And occasional dance. Furthermore, this collection offers up the pair's twin solo outings, 1931's Too Many Cooks, in which Bert and regular gal pal Dorothy Lee play a couple whose town-and-country dreams are undone by an excess of in-law assistance and Everything's Rosie, which sees Robert play a single-dad carny trying to gin up some happiness for his daughter (Anita Louise). Meanwhile, Dixiana and The Cuckoos shows the Wheeler and Woolsey team coming into its own in the pre-Code era, while Cockeyed Cavaliers and Silly Billies see the team take on medieval menaces and Wild West dangers.
