You can't go wrong with this great value. 50 classic mysteries for $10! I'll likely purchase additional collections of other movie genres because you just can't beat the price. There are some packaging/labeling issues you should be aware of--I don't think they're deal breakers but to each his own: Each double-sided DVD comes in a sleeve describing what is recorded on the DVD. However, there is no marking on the DVD itself. If this were a higher priced set, I imagine they would have gone through the trouble/expense to put individual labels on each side of the DVDs. Even a generic label on each side--letting you know which is side A and which is side B--would go a long way to help identify where particular movies are located. The order of the movies could be better arranged. For instance, the first disc has six movies in the Bulldog Drummond series (three movies per side). However, they're not chronologically ordered. So if you pop the disc in to play side A, you start off with a sequel, the second movie is actually the first in the series, and who knows which sequel in in the third spot. The recording order could have been more thoughtful. Movie quality is OK. To the best of my knowledge, these movies have not been remastered. They are grainy and sometimes the screen jumps when a reel ends--just like in the movie theatre! The quality is what you would see if an independent TV station were showing an old movie marathon. It doesn't really detract from the viewing experience but makes for a minor annoyance. Like I said, this collection is an incredible value--I'm seeing some of these obscure movies for the first time (and doubt there are alternative sources for them). This was definitely a well-spent $10 and I'll spring for additional movie collections once I make a dent in this one.Read full review

I love mysteries! So this seemed like a great bargain for me. I have not watched all of them yet, but they are perfect to curl up with on a rainy day. Lots of film noir ones. Some classics like Sherlock Holmes and Topper. I even got my husband interested in reading Sherlock Holmes after watching the movies. And he dosn't even like black and white movies. Of course I love to study the costumes ---especially from the 1930s and 40s films. So I give the set a thumbs up!!
These old movies are classics no cc.g.i..they depend on great acting and characters. This set came loaded with both
