Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great collection of early Hitchcock
This is a great collection of Hitchcock's early films, and for such a bargain. Unfortunately the resolution, sound, and quality of many of these films is not that great because of how old they are. Also, I find since they are British films, sometimes it's difficult with the un-restored sound to understand what they are saying. Three of Hitchcock's better early films are included among the bunch: The Thirty-Nine Steps, The Lady Vanishes, and Sabotage. These works are great predecessors for some ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Mainly older stuff
This is a 4-DVD set, 5 shows per DVD, approximately 28 hours of Black and White Hitchcock shows, ranging from 1926 to 1962, and varying from 24 to 98 minutes each. Some are silent movies and some are from the weekly Hitchcock television series.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Very mixed opinion on this.
For starters, it's great to see Hitchcock's early works. My big gripes about this collection are how the media was handled. The transfers are very poor.

So when it cuts to something bright, it's overblown ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - DVD player complains
All the discs in this set do not play properly in my DVD player . Some produce no picture or sound , and all cause the player to make noises suggesting it will seize up at any moment . Return policies make it impossible to return this defective product fairly so I am stuck on this one .



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Nice collection for a great price!
I bought this 4-disc set back in December from the Walmart $5 DVDs bin and have been enjoying it greatly since then. None of the discs in my set have at any time had any problem playing properly; they all consistently play perfectly.

I am overall satisfied with picture and sound quality (and was pleasantly surprised, actually, as, frankly, I'd not expected anywhere near as good regarding either, having had intolerable past experiences with the old sub-par cheapie videotape messes put out in years ... Read More
