movie world

The laughter never stops in this riotous collection starring the comedy team of Wally Brown and Alan Carney in four of their funniest features.

The two-disc DVD set "The RKO Brown & Carney Comedy Collection" is one of the latest groups of the seemingly endless supply of under-appreciated cinema rarities from Warner Archive. The notable aspects of these movies pairing a highly vaudeville centric team include their obvious similarities to the better-known Abbott and Costello.

Taller and thinner Wally Brown is the fast-talking slightly more intelligent Abbott to the shorter, heavier, and more anxious Costello-like Alan Carney. They respectively play Jerry Miles and Mike Strager in these four '40s era films.
