I enjoyed all 10 of these movies. The quality of these was amazing.

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.

Am surprised at the quality of this dvd. Good picture quality. Love old movies from the 30’s 40’s and 50’s. Great buy for the price. Was dubious because of the price but am very pleased.

An extremely cost-effective (and overall, quite good) ensemble of ten Forties-Fifties crime movies. imdB ratings run from 6.1 to 7.5; overall picture quality runs from “million-dollar matinee” to pretty-OK cleaned up, but no wet-gate or other high-tech special release techniques were used. The most puzzling (though welcome to me) inclusion is 1953’s BEAT THE DEVIL, which is in no sense a “noir” but more of a screwball-ish caper comedy that became something of a cult classic. (Perhaps an available flick with the likes of Humphrey Bogart, Jennifer Jones, Gina Lollobrigida and Peter Lorre in the cast was irresistible no matter what its specific genre.) Ironically, probably the biggest drawback to this set is that the pretty toleware-type box it comes in helps push the two DVD’s together. At this price, though, purchasers can easily budget in a couple of blank jewel boxes to keep the DVD’s separate. (Since the discs themselves do not appear to have been manufactured with an on-demand process, they should last quite a while.) Needless to say, a great gift with the understading that while these movies may not be the very best of the Noirs, they’re good enough, sometimes more than good enough, to make a worthwhile addition to any film library.

This is a very diverse collection of wonderful films.Some of the photography are little masterpieces of black and white films.A couple are not top quality reproductions but there is no problem enjoying them and they are still very acceptable.After watching them all I started looking for more film noir.I wish the collection was twice as long.

I was so pleasantly surprised when I realized the 2 discs containing 10 great FILM NOIR in a tin case. WOW!!!! Some I had seen before but there are a couple I have not. Arrived in timely manner and packaged protectively but the tin makes it icing on the cake. Tin may become collectors item. Inside the tin a spongy protection for the discs.

Terrific bargain with major actors. Always wished to see ‘Whirlpool’ with Gene Tierney, so it’s here along with that famous film noir actress, Lynn Bari who appeared in way over a hundred pictures. Lynn stars with Vincent Price in the classic, ‘Shock’, and lives up to her femme fatale reputation. ‘Impact’ with Donlevy and Ella Raines is also a keeper worth seeing. Other classics like ‘DOA’ and ‘Quicksand’, etc. are included. Plastic case see with some attractive cover art holds the 2 DVD’s secure. Great Buy.
