Warner along with some other studios have been giving out their screeners late to the reviewers. That's probably why Herb Kane hasn't posted any reviews here because I know these dvds are some of his most anticipated releases for the year.

| But do they really think that reputable reviewers (like HTF) are making extra money by pirating DVDs? |
It has nothing to do with HTF, at this time, the studios don't have the time nor inclination to pick and choose among the review sites, thus all of them are being effected by this policy change. Whether their fears are justified is a question only those closed enough to the situation can answer correctly.

I have been waiting for these movies to be released for years. I will be in line at my local Best Buy first thing in the morning to pick this baby up. I hope I won't be dissipointed, and given the box sets from Warner I have recently purchsed (Hitchcock Signiture Collection & Clasic Film Noir Collection) I dont think I will be. I just can't wait!

Re: Are there any reviews of the WARNER GANGSTER collection yet?
Regarding the upcoming release of WB Gangster Collection V4, including:
The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse
Invisible Stripes
Kid Galahad
Larceny, Inc.
The Little Giant
Public Enemies: The Golden Age of the Gangster Film
Will these titles be available individually? What is the history with the earlier WB sets? Were those titles available as individual items?

Re: Are there any reviews of the WARNER GANGSTER collection yet?
George,
Thanks for the info. I'll have to decide on this one, to get the box set or wait for the one that's been on my "grail" list for a long time..."Invisible Stripes". I'm not familiar with the other films in the set.

Re: Are there any reviews of the WARNER GANGSTER collection yet?
It was released today so it did not last on the shelve very long. Going over it now and it looks pretty good. Again all have Warner Night at the Movies and the shorts are almost as good as the films themselves. The transfers look top notch as always. The older cartoons look a little ragged, but still good.

Re: Are there any reviews of the WARNER GANGSTER collection yet?
Lots of commentaries and extras on Volume 4, and I did not get it until late last week. I will try to have a review up by the end of the week, but in the mean time, do not hesitate to pick this one up if you are remotely interested. "Kid Galahad" is a little bit soft, but still quite acceptable (probably did not have an ONeg to start from). The rest of them are even better.
