these would be great bargins if they played properly.
looking forward to picking up the Lombard set, but i'm a little disappointed to still not see Claudette Colberts films collected yet. a 'glamour' promotion would have been the ideal time to do it.

Its nice the Universal is finally diving into the Paramount films of the 1930's and 1940's.
I would love for them to do some director sets for Lubitsch.
DeMille, Sturges, and Wilder .

Good that they've forewarned us of the DVD 18s - they have been providing problems for some. But that issue aside, fabulous news...
So many films, so little time...

With dvd-18's, I'm going to wait until some reviews come in before I jump onto any of these. The Lombard set interests me the most. Heck, I haven't seen "Love Before Breakfast" since a late-show back in the 1970s. And, "Man of the World?" Can't recall that one at all. Must be one of those early Paramounts. I'd almost want to bet that William Powell is in it.

I haven't bought any of the Universal sets because of their recent (or not, depending on how long your memory is) track record with quality. I also don't care much for their packaging; I prefer individual movies in individual cases, if at all possible. Of course, that didn't stop me from buying the Harold Lloyd set. I believe the HL set was New Line (?), but why can't Warner's just own every classic movie ever made?  |
