Just a comment.. |
A review first and foremost should be about the content ie in this example the films within this 20 pack....not the vendor packaging....delivery.
If you then wish to compliment or note your displeasure re the handling of the product by the vendor..find and good. |

Incomplete Versions |
If you're thinking of getting this collection for a specific film, be sure to double check that this is the complete version. Some of the films included in this set were taken from shortened prints, made back in the day when these were played on regular TV and had to fit in to a certain time slot. Others seem to be as good as they'll ever look.
For example, the film "People Are Funny" is 87 minutes here, not 93. Another, worse, example is for "Dixiana." Not only is it also 87 minutes and not the original 100 minutes, but the 2-Strip Technicolor sequence originally at the end is presented B&W on this edition. The missing footage includes the entire classic dance routine by Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, as well as the climax to the plot between the hero and the villain.
For the price there are still some good films to be had here, and it's good to see so many familiar actors in one sitting. However, as in many of these Public Domain collections, some prints might not be the ones you want to have as your own personal "definitive" editions. |

Pretty Cool Set |
|
I wasn't expecting to get a top notch selection of musicals. Many are a little on the dull side, a few are even confusing, but there are some real gems in this collection. At less than $1 a piece, I'd say, if you enjoy old movies and have the patience to sort the good from the bad, you'll find hours of enjoyment in the set. Pay particular attention to Jane Powell's film "Delightfully Dangerous". It is just great! |

musicals dvd |
|
Most of the movies are not well known. The cover gives the impression that Fred Astaire will be in many of the movies; he's not and to see cast names you must actually start the dvd, there isn't a written movie guide. I'm sure a few of the movies will be good but so far no luck. |
