Disappointing if you're looking for E, G, Robinson |
I found this DVD on Marketadvisory by searching for Edward G. Robinson. As you can see from the cover shot, he is pmominently displayed. Out of the 50 movies there is only one in which he is the star. Only one of Frank Sinatra as well. In fact only one each of anyone you are likely to have heard of before. If I slog through all 50 I will probably find more of Robinson as a 2nd banana or bit player. I know that as a kid I saw a lot of him in movies.

Spellbinding entertainment |

My husband and I are movie fanatics - literally. We especially like the old black and white movies which seem to be more substance - even with violence. They keep your attention. We love this set and plan to buy more. |

DVD values |
As with most of the 'value' packs or collections of public domain and/or movies of less than optimal condition, the collection for the crime actually could have been put into any one of the many title mill creek puts together. I am thankful for the efforts. Although many of the movies are not at peak restoration and have some hiss, crackle and skipped frames, for the most part this collection has all good selections. I would have liked to gotten more and better digital enhancement but for the price value is the goal here. There were no real losers in this collection, no silents or obscure dubbed iron curtain remakes as a couple of collections have. I liked them all and didnt have to strain too much to watch and hear the productions. There were also some gems so I am secure that it is money well spent and I am glad to have these on my shelf. They are all cleaned up for the most part and the 50 'B' and serials were just fine to me.

This package is well worth the money. If you like crime and mystery, and the quality doesn't have to be perfect, this is the one to go for. Lots of fun. |
