****** - Verified Buyer
4.5
This is a wonderful set of less familiar oldies. I won't review the films in any detail, but will say that they are all enjoyable for fans of old movies. (I found the so-called classic D.O.A. clunky and uninteresting, but at least I've now seen it. The rest were exciting.) The Product Description summaries give a good idea of the variety of plots and actors in the set. At this great price, the set is worth buying just to see young Yul Brynner as a blood-curdlingly evil drug lord. But there are many other treats as well. I couldn't pick a favorite, but I have a special fondness for Blood on the Sun, in which Cagney does his own (limited and realistically awkward) judo and stunts and which shows the general Japanese population as victims of, not complicit with, the militarists in their country. Transfer quality was good. I intend to buy a lot more sets from this company, and hope they put out a Crime Busters 2 collection.
