Good collection overall
First a rating of the films, favorite to least favorite: 1 DOA (10/10) Very good example of film noir with lots of the elements of the genre. A very complex story with great characters that make it worth watching over and over again.2 Scarlet Street (10/10) The most dark and bleak film here, a...

The films are great, the packaging is garbage
A reasonably good selection of noir films, particularly for the price (Detour, DOA and He Walked By Night are worth the price by themselves). While we have not viewed all of the movies yet, the ones we have watched were of very adequate quality.My only complaint is the total piece-of-trash box...

Mystery box
I have seen one or two of the films mentioned by your customers, D.O.A. for example, just wonderful... but there is no complete list. How can we avoid duplication if we don't know what we are buying? (Just a thought.)

better than I expected
I have to disagree with reviewers who were disappointed by the quality of the transfers on the ten films in this set. I agree that the quality is not superb. But given the very low price per film, I didn't expect pristine remastering. I just wanted to sample a large number of films noir...
