"Merrily We Go To Hell", which is on the same Universal "Pre-Code Hollywood Collection" that "Hot Saturday" is on, isn't on this collection. Don't get me wrong, I'm all over this one big time, it has 6 movies I need for my Cary Grant collection, I am thrilled, but wasn't there room on the 6 DVD's for one more 84-minute Cary Grant movie? It's incomplete as a collection of early Universal Cary Grant movies because they left out one that they already issued on a Universal DVD collection, is my point. My other point would be that I still want one more DVD with "Sinners In The Sun" and "When You're In Love" (Robert Riskin directed that one so it might be a Columbia picture) to complete my Cary Grant collection. My Cary Grant obsession thanks you.

Pre-ordered and can't wait! I've been in a major Cary Grant binge all month and I figure I should run out of the movies of his I already have right around when this comes out.

OMG, I just found out about this!
How I'd love it if it was a bluray box set!
That means we won't see any now in the immediate future? :(

With 3 films on each disc, even with that duration I guess they will have high compression!

From what I read in the Mae West Universal Collection Topic, Universal is very good with encoding their DVD sets that push the envelope, capacity wise! :)

I just thought I'd offer up that tidbit.

CHEERS! :)

They'll probably be fine. Each of these films is about 75 minutes, so three of them on a disc works out to about four hours. They're all 4x3, black and white, and mono, so they shouldn't be big space hogs.

I have Universal's WC Fields set where they've got 3-4 movies on each disc, and it's the same scenario, early 30s movies, 4x3, black and white, mono, and they look fine to me. I used to have some of the titles on their on individual discs, and I could not see a difference between the single disc version and the three-movie-on-one-disc version.

I've got this Cary Grant set preordered and I am not concerned about compression.

I've read that 240 minutes is generally considered the maximum capacity for a dual layered DVD. While on the new Mae West set, I believe that one of the DVDs exceeds that slightly, that they're Black & White Academy Ratio presentations also provides for a bit of leeway.

CHEERS! :)
