Summary: Preston Sturges Classic Movie Collection
Comment: Great classic movies from the 30's and 4o's. It's much cheaper buying as a collection than buying each one individually.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great group of films packaged together
Comment: First of all I looked at the negative customer reviews and honestly I don't understand them. They are completely wrong in my opinion. They are not murky. I thought they were packaged very well. And the digitization was remarkable. I've got an old copy of Sullivan's Travels on tape and it is difficult to watch. But this version is great. I have watched each of these films several times over the years and I am always amazed at the amount of complexity that Sturgis brings to his work without confusing the viewer. He doesn't "talk down" to the viewer either. Sturgis assumes that we are intelligent adults looking for intelligent and pleasurable entertainment. At bottom or better the bottom line for him is always the heart. You come away from these films really feeling something but not feeling as if you were manipulated by the typical Hollywood bluster. That is why these movies can be watched over and over again. They always seem so fresh. If you love the movies of that period of time make this set a part of your library. You won't be disappointed.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Sturges Collection Is Great Return to Last Century
Comment: One of the rappiest recommendations after my initial Sturges single film. Is an excellent collection of societal commentary as well as great humor, writing, and directing.

Summary: Preston Sturges - The Filmmaker Collection
Comment: Bought because of REASONABLE PRICE on Lady Eve... Familiar with Sullivan's Travels and The Palm Beach Story... Put in The great McGinty, could not stop watching... Truly a great addition to any 30s and 40s FILM NUT collection... Quality very good, considering this is not restored versions...
