Mystery Classics 50 Movie Pack - 12-DVD Set (DVD)

Rating

50 old mysteries for less than $15.00 is a good deal. However, most of them are unwatchable. Sound tracks are poor, they weren't filmed that well in the first place, and, despite nostalgaic warm feelings for "Bulldog Drummond," "Mr. Moto," Boris Karlof mysteries, etc., the stories are pretty lame and just don't make it. An occasional Edward G. Robinson and John Garfield Movie had some appeal. Orson Welles' "The Stranger" was very good. And some of the original Basil Rathbone "Sherlock Holmes" films were fun (if you're a fan). But out of the 50, lucky if you find 10-15 you can watch all the way through.

I purchased this set for one of my husband's Christmas gifts, and have been benefitting from it ever since! We have watched 4 of the movies so far, and although one had poor sound, they are very engaging and fun to watch. For old time movie buffs, this collection is a great way to fill your library with some wonderful, hard to find films.... not all first rate, but certainly a bargain. Note that they are not all full length films - several are short (60 - 70 minutes) but the collection is still worth purchasing, even if just for the several really great gems!

The films were never cleaned, so all the dust, dirt, and scratchiness of time is still there. The audio in over half of the dvds is foggy, buzzy and skipping. And the dscs themselves have scartches and flaws. The price was great, the product was very poor. FLB, VA
