Summary: A Waste of Money
Review: I have this last day received a DVD copy of these two films and my message to anyone considering buying is, 'keep your money in your pocket'. Not only are the films themselves poor entertainment value but the transfer onto DVD is dismal... BR>For one thing the contrast is poor especially in the darkened scenes and the sound tranfer although high enough in volume is badly badly dubbed in. This has slightly alterd the tone of the actors voices and also makes the sound seem totally flat, with no appearance of distance or the actors position on the screen.

I've certanly learned my lesson about buying cheap DVDs, if they are cheap in price they are cheap in quality and not worth buying.

Although I do have to admit that I do have some budget DVDs which are acceptable, I suppose it's all to do with which company produces the goods.... I have given this DVD one star, only because I have no choice if I want to air my views

Summary: Historic Old Film
Review: I saw both of these films on television a while back and enjoyed them. I agree with the other person who reviewed this DVD that the sound is flat and the contrast is off in a few areas. One thing Mr. something-ham doesn't realize or forgot to mention is that the film is of the B-western genre from the 1940's. These films were made that poorly from the day they were written. They were more like television episodes than movies. The entire genre was a very historical moment in motion picture history. I can't remember the last time I watched the Honeymooners and experienced a sense of "depth" in the acoustics. I am grateful that there is someone who cares enough to distribute this historical content on a new medium for people who understand and appreciate motion pictures. Thank you, I will be looking for more titles to be released from this studio.
