Technical specifications of the discs: the six 'features' are housed, 3 each, on 2 dual-layered discs coded for regions 1 in the NTSC standard. All all six discs are interlaced transferred. Each have original English audio and quality is limited but certainly watchable. All are black and white but the latter half of A Night in Hollywood (1953) has been, ineffectively, colorized.  

Image: Fairly consistent with a positive-ness considering the condition, the content and age. Bitrates are very low at around 4.2 Mbps. Speckles and light scratches are minimal - the bulk of the presentation seems acceptable for CRT. There are no surprises - artifacts surface more in the very last film. Most of it is quite flat and video-like but there are a few segments that look superior.

Audio - All original (monaural) and weak. It's just like someone filmed the live show (which is the case) and the musical numbers have no fidelity. You can hear the skit jokes but dialogue is scattered with little interference from crowd noises. No subtitles are offered. 

Extras - Nothing at all - perhaps some burlesque art or a documentary would have been of value to include. 

Overall impression: My complaint was that while I had a spark of interest in the uniqueness of the first disc - it seemed to drift when we got to the last 2 features where any classiness was eroded beyond repair. In researching this there is a whole 'cult' following on some of these gals - Mary Andes, Sunny Knight, Gilda and the tempestuous Tempest Storm! So while I had a level of amusement - I just don't have any idea who I could show these to - they are a little too bawdy for mixed company but not racy enough for, says, a Stag night. Some of the gals and humor are kinda cute - and the price isn't gouging for anyone keen on the, almost, 7 hours of late 40s and early 50s Burlesque entertainment.
