"Includes some great 1940's TV commercials!"
The 12th (and last) DVD in this set contains six made-for-TV films shown on CBS's "Studio One" program between 1948 and 1952. These films include the commercials, and they are the earliest TV commercials I have ever seen. For example, in 1949 Westinghouse was selling a big, boxy, front-opening washer and dryer set called the "Laundromat" using the slogan "Buy On Proof". One commercial asks you to call any of their authorized dealers, who will come to your home, pick up a load of your dirty laundry, wash and dry it at their store, and invite you into town to see the results for yourself. Easy payment plans are available.

So you actually get fifty decent movies _plus_ some of the earliest TV commercials. What a deal!

Also, each DVD comes in a cardboard sleeve that lists for every film the title, year, a brief synopsis, and featured actor. It's very good packaging for any collection, and exceptionally good for this price.

"Dark crimes collection"
This Eric Ellis guy's reviews are all the same,

"Do not buy this item if you have any appreciation for video transfer. On many of the movies the sound and video quality is terrible.

On several movies it looks like someone made the video transfer from videotaping the movies while watching them on television.

Don't make the mistake I made. In hindsight, I would only purchase this collection if I found it in a dollar bin sale, which is most likely where these Mill Creek collections will be in a year or so."

I have bought two other collections,and i think they are quite good.



"Must Have In Your Collection"
Film Noir at its best and originality. Look for these flicks for influence and inspiration.

"Excellent collection of old movies."
Most of the movies in this set are excellent. The audio and video transfer isn't always great, and there are a few movies that fall well below the 4-Star level, but I would recommend this set to anyone who enjoys suspence and old black and white movies.

What our customer's say!

"Decent for the money", Mr. Ellis is all wet! I own several of the Mill Creek sets and in many cases video & audio is more than acceptable for old black & whites, in short, a bargain!

"A decent set with Film Noir mixed in...", I got this set primarily for the film noir in it. But this is hardly a purely "film noir set" many of the films to be found here are from the 30s and are more crime/gangster films than film noir which exists mostly (not entirely) in the period of 1941-1958.

If, like me you are seeking some noir this set has the following titles which are pure-to-near-noir:

The Chase
DOA
Fear in the Night
The Great Flamarion
Gaslight
Guest in the House
The Hoodlum
The Inner Sanctum
The Limping Man
The Man Who Cheated Himself
The Man Who Had Influence
Shoot to Kill
Whistle Stop
The Scar
Strange Illusion
The Strange Love of Martha Ivers
A Life at Stake
Please Murder Me
Cause for Alarm!
Woman on the Run
Trapped
Parole Inc.
The Inner Circle

So 23 out of 50 ain't bad. A few of these are excellent films, "The Strange Love of Martha Ivers," "DOA," "Whistle Stop" and "The Scar." And there are plenty of lesser surprises which will at least provide entertainment if not warranting repeated viewings.

A final note on the video quality, yes it is hardly perfect, far from it in some cases, but I did not find it to be as bad as some reviewers here seem to believe. In any case, this set is a good way to get a lot of B-films which are less likely to be restored much better than you find here, and its good for those of us who want to have those rare, low budget films but aren't worried about having the highest quality version.

"Old Movies", Did not think it would be any good! Much to my surprise, it is interesting to see these old gems!

"subtitle", A strange request: have this set the english subtitles? I'm italian and so I prefer to have the subtitles for better understand the movies.
Thanks
Fausto

"Great Classic Movies", SciFi Classics Collection 50 Movie Pack Collection Love these mostly old movies. Interesting to see where our minds were about SciFi by today's standards. Great way to pass the time for us retired middle agers.

"Seriously, Do NOT BUY if....", Do not buy this item if you have any appreciation for video transfer. On many of the movies the sound and video quality is terrible.

On several movies it looks like someone made the video transfer from videotaping the movies while watching them on television.

Don't make the mistake I made. In hindsight, I would only purchase this collection if I found it in a dollar bin sale, which is most likely where these Mill Creek collections will be in a year or so.


"Dark Crimes Collection: 50 Movie Pack", Picture quality varies from Poor to Good. Cost? 50 DVDs for less than $15. Expect some flaws. None are remastered. This is one of the best 50 Movie Pack collections. Have not seen them all but the few I have seen are great as far as story lines go. If you like black and white movies of a bygone era, buy this. Don't expect fine wine at the cost of a glass of beer. Enjoy.

"Very Good Purchase for the Money......", So much fun watching these old movies. I'm very happy with this purchase. Some of the first movies I viewed had poor sound quality, but I could still understand what was being said. Also, I didn't notice a logo being played as someone had mentioned. Both sides play perfectly. I would definately recommend buying this movie pack if you love these type movies. (meant to give 5 star rating, gave 4 by mistake)

"Mr. L Mapes", I was very disappointed in this product, as the recordings were the worst I've ever seen. I could have done a better job of recording these for re-sale. With all the Computor knowledge that we have today, it's a shame that a product of this quality would be sold. Amazon, you messed up good this time.

"Good stuff, but trouble on the B side", Hard to not get your money's worth here, but I have found eight of the 12 B sides produce an error message and won't play, at least on my DVD player. Has anyone else had the same problem? That being said, this set is packed with good films--Inner Sanctum, The Hoodlum, Half a Sinner, The Great Flamarion, to name a few--that I had never heard of before but enjoyed immensely. So many good ones, I wonder what I'm missing on those B sides.
