These two earlier sets are available separately from Amazon for about $10 each.
All three sets are reissues (in 5.1 sound) “re-mastered for best possible recount quality” from public domain (PD) films. Considering the indecent brand for 18 classic film-noir films from 1939-55 and the fact that this residence has some appealing extra features, this is pleasant value for the money. I’ve watched several films and found their video quality quite watchable, although this is variable, as with all PD issues.
The 6 DVDs are included in 6 DVD slim cases, each of which has on the abet side brief information on the films. The slim cases are housed in a lightweight cardboard slipcase. DVD cases and slipcase are white, which is somewhat incongruous for film noir. However, this St. Clair edition is very nicely done.
Incidentally, St. Clair recently reissued some of its other material in similar (white, slim cases, etc.) appearing sets: sets on Alfred Hitchcock, westerns, WWII, romance, quiet greats, awe, etc.
Picked this collection up mainly because of the packaging – most of the collections of this type are usually crammed into one of those immense flimsy multi-disc DVD cases. This package has six DVDs with each in its believe thin-case. I was also pleasantly surprised to accumulate that the discs themselves were single-sided and not double like some of the other packages that I’ve had experience with. Now about the films themselves – I must admit that I’ve only watched a few of them so far, but both films were of suited quality – leastwise given what was probably available for source material. Each disc does advance with a “bonus feature”, which range from photo galleries of movie posters, to an audio recording of a radio play – plus there are trailers and a feature short titled “About Film Noir”. All-in-all, I’m very elated with the hold.
