The Best of Benny Hill | Year: 1975 Classification: Television Directed: - John Robins Benny Hill 1974 Very good compilation of Bennys stuff from '69? to '74. Don't expect too much from the Dance Crowd here; more of the "skits-parodys" kind of comedy; IE "Mad magazine & National lampoon" on video. A lot of campy stuff; mostly "British" humor, but sometimes way more funny (if you "get it")than American comedy. Uh yeah this IS the best of Benny Hill! Having grown up in Sydney, Australia during the 1970's I was exposed to a lot of Benny Hill and this DVD contains but a small portion of the funny and brilliant comedy programming Benny made which I grew up watching. I happen to like his early stuff from the 70's as opposed to the later stuff he did in the 80's. Lucky for me this compilation movie was made in the mid-70's and has made it to DVD. The skits on this DVD represent the original years of Hill's brand of humor and I love it. The only drawback is that since some of the skits were shot on video the quality isn't as good as the superb quality of the skits shot on 16mm. On the contrary the other DVD(s) available that covers Hill's later years contains the boring, mundane humor in my opinion. I am very much hoping that I can get some more Hill programming on DVD from the 1970's, as presented on this DVD because as I said this is but a mere taste of Hill's early era of original and very funny yet risque humor. There's a lot more he did back in the 70's which hasn't made it to DVD yet. A lot more. This DVD is the game and the others are lame. Definitely not the Best Only 1/8 of this CD was worth watching. The major portion of this CD was not funny. Some of the video had a washed out look as if from old tapes gone bad and the audio was not good in sections.<BR>With all the good shows Benny Hill did, it is hard to imagine putting out a DVD with consistantly mediocre material.
