Film Noir Collection

Enjoyable films

The transfer is really not bad, unlike a lot of bulk film packages. I found each and every one of these movies to be quality pictures. Great performances by super actors and directors like Humphrey Bogart and John Houston and Orson Welles and Edward G Robinson. One of the best movie bargains I’ve ever seen.

I was expecting this to come in the tin that's pictured...but it's actually better in the normal case it came in. One, the case will be easy to replace if it breaks. Two, the discs in the normal case version of this set aren't overlapping and touching like they do in the tin version of the set. The movies are kind of boring, but fun to watch.

Enjoyable

Great collection of the oldie but goodies, for the price hard to go wrong. I know I had in the past paid as much for just one on VHS. I want to say every one is a classic, certainly "The Stranger", "Quicksand", "Beat the Devil", They made Me a Criminal"... maybe all are depending. I am no expert about sound and transfers but I was very happy watching and listening to them on the big screen. By todays standards may be a bit slow paced for the mouse click generation, but if they love film noir, will not disappoint?! I have recently unplugged from the cable and it is these type films I really miss, no CGA or computer graphics, no insane telegraphing every moments next moment or prodigious blood letting posing as film making. Tasteful; can I use that word here in this context? OK, so my review is biased as I already love this stuff so all I can reasonably add is that I was happy with the extras and I was happy with the production values in getting these on a disk for me to enjoy.

Good collection- One problem- The bogart film is not noir. It is obscure in it's own way in that it is over the top to the extent of being considered camp. For historical purposes its an impotent oddball. Its like the cast and director of The Maltese Flacon went on a vacation and took cameras to make a real crappy but good crappy movie. The best films on here are public domain movies like Scarlett Street and DOA. There is nothing wrong with public domain movies you just have to be careful how much you pay. For 10 films this is a good deal but the cover is ridiculous and it needs to be pointed out its totally false advertising. This is a physically ill looking Bogart who seems sick until the end of the movie.

We have watched several of these movies and they are really good stories. Unfortunately no subtitles, and they are old movies so don't expect today's video quality.

good selection

This is a very good set - great value. I have no issue with the picture quality of this set playing on a 4k high end Qled Samsung tv/blueray they play great. I see no difference with the picture quality on some of these movies that are shown on TCM. Not all movies are restored to crisp white and blacks because they were never that way to start with.

Less than stellar transfer quality. The films themselves are in so-so to decent condition, but some won’t load from the main menu, or take forever to load. Some are choppy (DVD media quality, not the film itself). And no chapter breaks. But for the price, you get what you pay for,

This is a great set, good stories, good quality audio/video good value

Calidad de imagen pésima, parece que las han bajado de Youtube y las han metido en un dvd. Y ni subtítulos ni nada.

Por un precio increible te llevas 10 excelentes peliculas de Film Noir con una excelente calidad de imagen. Muy recomendable para aquellos que aprecian este género cinematográfico.
