Received my 4 films and I just took a quick scan through them (I have a Oppo DVD player that upconverts to 1080p and I have a 40" Sony Bravia HDTV).
I am far from a DVD reveiwer but what I can say are that Dusty & Sweets Mcgee, Rain People and Countdown all are anamorphic but they fall a little below the standards of a regular Warner catalog release from that time period. I did see signs of compression and all 3 films show some softness and lack of detail in some scenes more than others. I would rate the transfers as fair in relation to a regular DVD release. But since this is what I expected, I can't say I am disappointed.
All Fall Down however, was a very nice sharp and clear anamorphic picture...no softness and I didn't see any signs of compression. It looks pretty much like a regular Warner DVD release.
For 14.95 plus tax, I would say I am pleased with these purchases, but I would not pay more than that for future archive releases.
