Columbia Pictures

[Nelson]

A friend of mine from the TCM message board sent me a link to this website, that is devoted to the entire history of the Columbia Pictures shorts dept.The site covers everything from the classic Charles Mintz cartoons to the great two Columbia two reelers from the 1930s to the 1950s.

From Krazy Kat to the Three Stooges, everything is included here and you can be able to see many rare Columbia shorts with Harry Langdon, Andy Clyde, Charley Chase and many others.I highly recomend everyone who loves cartoons and slapstick comedies to visit this site and you won't be disapointed.

This guy's got stuff for sale. Is he doing that legally?

I've purchased some shorts from Greg. I can tell you that he is on the level as far as getting the goods to the customers goes. The video quality is variable (the Hugh Herbert shorts come off the best), but the shorts are still quite entertaining, especially if you're a fan of the Columbia shorts supporting players (Dudley Dickerson, Christine McIntyre, and Emil Sitka have great opportunities to show their comic talents in some of these shorts).

Everything is on the level and I have heard only good things about Greg and almost all the Columbia shorts he has, is in the public domain.Besides, if you are looking for rare shorts, then Greg will help out in any way he can, as he also does trades, as well.
