Summary: Memories....
Comment: This is an amazing collection of movies that were never huge "block busters" but amazing stories that show Bing Crosby in the "Good Old Days"! A wonderful addition to any DVD collectors library.

Summary: Crosby Screen Legend Collection
Comment: These are enjoyable movies. Betty Hutton plays identical twins in "Here Come The Waves". Impressive special effects for the (pre-digital) times. Child star Gloria Jean plays opposite Crosby in "If I Had My Way". They duet several catchy songs. She has a great voice, not overshadowed by Crosby as you might expect.

Summary: A Mixed Bag
Comment: Bing Crosby has starred in some of my favorite, and least favorite, movies. Appearing in over 100 motion pictures, he was one of the most popular performers of his time. This collection showcases five of his lesser known efforts. While none of them are as excellent as his classics "White Christmas" and "Going My Way", most of them can be enjoyed for what they are - lively low budget musicals. The best in the set are both included on the second disc. Also featuring child star Gloria Jean, "If I Had My Way" has godfather Crosby attempting to provide for the orphaned girl of his best friend. My personal favorite of the set, "East Side of Heaven" is a hilarious comedy about two bachelors who get stuck with a baby when the mother skips town during a custody battle for the child. I found that the others, while pleasant, were fairly forgettable. Of course Crosby's easy going persona and rich baritone are winning in every film he appears in. Unfortunately, there are no special features. All in all, I'd say that this is set of early Bing Crosby movies that never became classics.

Summary: poor bing
Comment: Bing Crosby is undoubtedly one of the greatest entertainers of the 20th century and I am definitely a fan. I had seen most of his better known films from Going My Way to High Society, even Rhythm on the River and Birth of the Blues, but was not prepared for this box! These are not great films, not really interesting films, and not films I want to watch again. You would have to be a true-blue lover of the crooner before feeling justified in buying this set. Sorry Bing.
