Nifty Fifties - 50 Movie Pack: Cyrano de Bergerac - The Lady Says No - The Man with the Golden Arm - The Snows of Kilimanjaro - The Last Time I Saw Paris - The Jackie Robinson Story - The Conquest of Everest - Beneath the 12-Mile Reef + 42 more!

I like the movie selections in this package, however took a star off since for many of them the picture quality is lacking and the sound is a bit muffled and hard to make out. I have no cable and don't have a fast enough connection for streaming video, (and I'm sure many others are in the same boat) and am relying on DVD's of good movies and TV programs to continue to be made available on Amazon.

These are definitely below B-movies, a few can keep your attention, majority would be good for aficionados of old film. Several discs didn't play very well (and it was not due to the old footage having problems), and the sound on several had to be turned up all the way to understand the dialog. I had higher hopes and ended up just donating the set to a local library.

Others have said plenty about quality of movies here, both aesthetically and artistically, and I concur with what they said. It's worth getting just for "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" and "The Man With the Golden Arm." Having; "A Tale of Two Cities", "Cyrano DeBergerac", "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn", " The Lady Says No", "The Last Time I Saw Paris". " The Jackie Robinson Story". and "Chained For Life", make it that much more desirable. Nice collection of not quite stellar 50s movies of many genres. If one can nab this for less than $15, it's a worthwhile investment in your movie library.

You can't go wrong with any of the 50 packs! You may get a couple of duds, but who cares! Show me a better deal! Some reviews mentioned picture or sound quality being an issue. Hey! This is before they had dolby, hi-fi and all that! I assume most of the negative reviews come from younger folks who were raised on HD TV! I haven't had any problem listening or watching any of these movies! Sure there are a few places where there might have been a film splice, or the sound may be less than 2015 standards, but it's nothing that's really going to bother anyone except for the spoiled younger generation! I own close to 20 of these 50 packs and I'm glad I bought every single one of them!

It's a lot of material for the price, but I am somewhat disappointed with the actual content / titles included in this set. I am certainly not expecting award winning films, just a better distribution over the decade and some better choices to include in this set. Oddly, to me this set has pretty much the same feel as the 40's pack. I agree with another reviewer - too many movies dated early in the decade, with very few from the middle to later years. This is the first set where I skipped over several movies after previewing them. But for the price,and the number of discs it's hard to fuss too much. I have all the Decade packs from the 80's to the 40's. Of all these, this is my least favorite.

How much entertainment can you get for $12? We have enjoyed many of the movies in this collection.Yes, most of them are "B" level movies, but even some of those are clever. We have found at leasttwo movies on each disk we enjoyed very much. Some of the movies have very poor sound and/orpicture, but you simply go past those and find a gem!!

Again bought for my Mom that's in a nursing home and she couldn't be happier and we will continue to buy her movies from Amazon until the day she dies! For every visit and every holiday we will continue to buy her movies to watch as they won't let her change the TV channels as they say that everyones TV must be on the same channel and she hates that, so now she is all set with the hundreds of movies we have bought her from Amazon.com!

I loved the first disk so much that I haven't yet watched any of the other. This is a MUST HAVE for anone over the age of 60. Disregard the tacky cover photo, "The Last Time I Saw Paris" is an excellent copy, and alone worth the cost of the entire collection.

Great

I returned this set because the quality was extermely poor.. The colours were washed out and the sound quality was very bad.Actually I really didn't want to give it even one strar.

GOOD

B movies poorly recorded. There are big name stares very early in their carriers and they are worth watching. At discount rates its probably a good buy if you are building a collection.

I bought this set because I am a fan of the period 30's,40's and 50's.I was not disappointed.There is a wide variety of films to see,including TV programmes.Very enjoyable. I have not watched all of them yet,but those I have watched were well worth it.
