Summary: More Madacy Entertainment trash...
Review: Madacy appears to have quite a history of producing low quality transfers from film to DVD. All one needs to do is look at other Amazon reviews (look at some of the Charlie Chaplin DVD reviews). I was extemely disappointed with this DVD set and wished I could get back my money. It was a complete waste of money. We're lucky that Amazon has the ability to review these so others don't waste their hard-earned money also. Also fortunate that Amazon has technical info so we can see who has produced the DVD's.

Summary: Poor Quality DVDs
Review: The contrast on the films can be poor. Limited special features not necessarily related to the film on the disk. No way to display the time or what chapter you are watching. It seemed that no effort was taken to ensure a good print was used to master from. Gosh, I wish I had the money I had spent on these discs so I could get decent copies of these movies.

Summary: Madacy - worst DVD producer ever
Review: The editorial review from Amazon.com states, "The prints of the films used in this box set are serviceable and probably comparable to average 16mm classroom or museum presentations." All I can think is that Mr. Keogh is lying or didn't actually watch the discs. The transfers are among the worst ever on DVD, which is typical of all Madacy titles. The films on the discs are unfortunately great - too bad they're unwatchable. Avoid this collection like the plague, and wait for re-releases from reputable distributors.

Summary: good movies, decent video, poor sound quality
Review: The movie's in this series are very good and, in my opinion, worth owning. These early works are in themselves good movies but seeing them after seeing his later works you can see how Hitchcock formulated his ideas and used them again in his later works. The video quality of these movies is watchable but they are not letterboxed. The sound quality on some of them is really poor to the point that I had a hard time understanding some of the dialogue. The special features of the DVD are also not that great (eg. no subtiles)

Summary: Technical Difficulties
Review: The warnings given by other reviewers cannot be amplified enough -- I could not play any one of the five disks and had to return the package. For all I know, Madacy just stuck a bunch of blank disks in the package.

Summary: Good films, poor DVD
Review: This DVD set is an insult to the great master like Hitchcook! Madacy should have put more efforts making this DVD set more watachable. DVD collectors are different than normal VHS reviewers. I will never buy any DVD from Madacy ever again! Hope someday, somene like Criterion will remaster these films.

Summary: Suspence and model trains collide in this action thriller
Review: This is a fun, suspenseful, cryptic movie. Eight strangers come together in a dark, creepy house by an English railyard, Three intend to make off with a stolen piece of jewelry.The acting is good and the story advances quickly from murder mystery to thriller. Two segments make this movie worth watching. First there is the empty house. Hitchcock, through slow-moving cameras and great use of lighting, creates a haunting atmosphere and builds nearly unbearable suspense. The second must-see is the final chase scene. Hitchcock uses miniatures to convey most of the action: a train, a bus, a ferry, and even a motorcycle. The expert editing of the scene saves the special effects (which are reminiscent of old Godzilla movies) and makes for great pacing.
