B & W Mystery loversReview by Sharon cook, 2010-08-29
If you like old B & W movies, this is for you. I am a big fan of old movies and this set is a great collection. From the 1930's and 1940's, it has a little of evertything.......Dick Tracey, Nancy Drew, Mr Moto.... each disc brought more enjoyment. While I am only through half the discs, I look forward to watching them all. This is a great buy for the money and many hours of enjoyment for the mystery lover.

I bought this for my mom as a gift, and we watch the movies together. It was a great buy for a great price.
For lovers of old movies
Review by E. Semple, 2010-05-24
I loved the old movies I watched as a kid with my mother. Remember
the syncopated clock at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. Anyway this is
a very nice collection. Many I have never seen or heard of but
am looking forward to watching. The quality of the dvds is
surprisingly good too.
I liked the Bull Drummond mysteries the best.
Review by Cleo, 2010-05-12
I didn't have any expectations regarding the technical quality and the storytelling. For me, this was not a wasted purchase because I found the Bull Drummond mysteries to be charming. Most of the other films were not particularly memorable. I am happy to have seen the Nancy Drew movie since I like the books and it satisfied my curiosity without additional expense. This collection includes films when actors were urbane instead of the now popular rough around the edges style.
Ruined music and dialog by sound processing errors.
Review by Shock Writer, 2010-05-12
The sound track is nearly completely ruined by an an attempt to improve the sound on every Mill Creek collection that I have bought.
Music: To suppress hiss sounds in the high frequencies the music that accompanies the program has been so lowered in volume that you do NOT feel the musical emotion of the film. This makes every single show unnecessarily boring. It took me a while to realize what was going on. I found that on movies that I have duplicate copies by other DVD makers that the sound is much better and the overall effect is dramatically better even though they have more hiss. Hiss is soothing to some people and it is obviously not worth ruining the sound track to suppress it when you compare.
Dialog: It is hard to tell what the actors are saying. Apparently the sound hiss processing makes the sound suddenly go up and down in volume when an actor talks but the high part of the voice is suppressed to eliminate the hiss. This makes every actors voice sound dull and boring and women do NOT sound as feminine as they normally do (you miss the sexy voice of fem fatals). Suddenly you will hear a little more music when the voice is boosted louder reminding you that you are missing the musical sound track thus you are not feeling the emotion of the program.
Story: Some of these are great old B and B+ movies that are worth watching though they are not the highest budget programs so not the best. Sadly they are ruined by the sound processing. As I have said, I have found a copy of some of the movies on other DVD's and they are dramatically better. Sadly rated a 2.
