Hitch at the apex of his career
Though he was an undisputed genius of the cinema, not everyone needs the complete Hitchcock features. If you're a keen fan, they're available on DVD in the 15-disc Masterpiece, nine-disc Signature, and eight-disc Premiere Collections, which will run you between $50 and $100 per box (and which don't include his "non-Hitchcockian" silent films and talkies from the 20s and early 30s). But many Hitchcock lovers recall the five films on this reasonably-priced five-disc set most fondly, and they are without question among his finest achievements, all of them produced in Hollywood between 1954 and 1963.
Presented here in digitally restored, crisply remastered editions with a few interesting extras and options, the DVDs will do nicely for most folks (though not for the angry Blu-Ray aficionados who've given single-star ratings to this excellent set; this may come as a shock to them, but some people who are just discovering Hitch have ordinary DVD players and 32-inch TVs and are not...
Great set!!
This DVD box set is Beautiful, Great Art work! It is nice to see that this came with every movie on its own disk. Many company's are putting 2-3 movies on one disk. Also for never owning any of these movies there are many extras. I see that people are wanting it on Blue which I do not buy but I am sure it will come out eventually. I own about 12 Box sets and this is the nicest one I have bought and for 17 Dollars it was A steal.
Four Fantastic Films in One Place!
These films are classics and it's about time that they have released these four movies in a single pack, i have been waiting for these to come out for a while now. Although I already have Psycho on DVD, I would thoroughly enjoy having these movies together in one package. Any body who appreciates film would understand that we are rating the product on DVD, those who have blu-ray complaints should take it out towards Universal or WB. Ragging on his for it's lack of overrated blu-ray capabilities is like beating up a man who didn't do anything wrong. It remains pointless. So please, check out these films if you haven't even seen them (yes i do know some people who actually haven't seen these movies yet), or especially if you don't own these movies yet! They are amazingly well crafted pieces of art!
