Product Description:

THE BEST OF VICTOR BORGE ACT ONE & TWO: Revisit the classic routines of comedian-pianist Victor Borge in highlights from his years of comical television. Includes "Introducing Mozart," "My Favorite Barber," "Introducing Marylyn Mulvey," "Aria From 'Rigor Mortis' by Joe Green," and "The Timid Page Turner."

THE LEGENDARY VICTOR BORGE: One of classical music's most celebrated performers, Victor Borge wowed audiences for nearly nine decades. Over the course of his storied career, "The Great Dane" was considered the funniest man in the world, as well as being a truly gifted musician. This release taps into the Borge archives, showcasing some of his more memorable performances. Also included are several rarely seen routines, which only add to the legend of the brilliant showman.

VICTOR BORGE'S FUNNIEST MOMENTS: A comprehensive collection of the most memorable highlights encompassing the zany musician's extensive career.

VICTOR BORGE: THEN & NOW: "The Great Dane" is captured in some of his earliest movies and TV shows. Also included are highlights from performances taped at the Fox Theatre in Detroit.

LOST EPISODES OF VICTOR BORGE: VOLUME ONE: Vintage black-and-white footage of comedic master Victor Borge is compiled in this celebration of his hilarious antics. Combining slapstick with virtuoso piano stylings, Borge's work breaks language barriers and splits sides in equal measure.

LOST EPISODES OF VICTOR BORGE: VOLUME TWO: The comedic master who has made the piano his partner, Victor Borge has entertained audiences for over half a century. This collection of Borge's skills includes rare footage and many previously unseen skits of the clown pianist.

Description by Questar:

Authorized by Borge's family, The Victor Borge Classic Collection will contain: The Best of Victor Borge Act One & Two; The Legendary Victor Borge; Victor Borge's Funniest Moments; Victor Borge: Then & Now; Lost Episodes of Victor Borge, Volume One; and Lost Episodes of Victor Borge, Volume Two.
These programs have sold more than six million copies separately. This is the first time they have been packaged together in one collectibly-priced DVD box set.
The release of The Victor Borge Classic Collection is timed to coincide with the 2008-2009 public television broadcast of Victor Borge: 100 Years of Music and Laughter!, a new special marking what would have been Borge's centennial. Borge, affectionately nicknamed "The Great Dane," was one of the world's most beloved entertainers in the world. His career spanned more than seven decades. In sold out concerts and command performances for world leaders, he delighted audiences with his timeless comedy routines and virtuoso musicianship.

The Victor Borge Classic Collection contains nearly seven hours of hilarious comedy, including his most requested routines: Phonetic Puncuation; The Timid Page Turner; The Opera Singer (featuring Marylyn Mulvey); Inflationary Language (in which "once upon a time" becomes "twice upon a time" and "forehead" becomes "fivehead"); Autumn Leaves (featuring singer Sergio Franci); and Borge appearing as Franz Liszt.
