 Fabulous Boxed Set August 20, 2007
S J Buck (Kent, UK)
54 out of 55 found this review helpful
I have just purchased this set of Hitchcock films and aside from the missing 'North by Northwest' and 'Strangers on a Train' (both of which I already own anyway) and a few of the early British classics this is very nearly definitive.
Of the 14 films in this set five are ranked in the top 250 films of all time on the internet movie database (www.imdb.com):
Rope = 237
Shadow of Doubt = 155
Vertigo = 35
Psycho = 22
Rear Window = 13
Of the remaining nine films several are wonderful films in their own right and because Hitchcock was the director none of them are turkeys.
The films are packaged in the thin DVD cases and the box itself is well made and will look good on your shelf.
Having picked the set up quite cheap I assumed that there would be no extras on the discs, but in fact 'Psycho' is 2 DVD set, so you actually get 15 DVD's in the boxed set, and all the films contain extras.
For example on 'Rear Window' you get:
Rear Window Ethics: Remembering
& Restoring a Hitchcock Classic - Making Of
Featurette
Art Gallery
Trailer Compilation
Theatrical Trailor
So overall this is a simply a marvellous set of films, by one of the greatest ever filmmakers. You could watch one a night for two weeks and then start again. Now which one shall I watch first?
Completely restored films!! February 6, 2008

Better quality than the originals.Bonus features show how the complete restoration from film was achieved to produce much sharper images and colours than the cinema showings.With a couple of notable omissions from the line up this is the best box set of Hitchcock I have seen. Well worth purchasing .
Anamorphic when needed October 20, 2007

This is the same set as the one released in the US, as mentioned by DVDbeaver as being the best one to get, which has the extra disc with Psycho and where some of the films are in Anamorphic widescreen. Enjoy!
Stellar box set from the master of suspense August 10, 2008

Within this set are some of the greatest movies ever produced in the history of motion pictures. 'Rear Window', a story of a photographer who believes he has witnessed a murder, if only people would believe him, is Hitch's tour de force, capturing the essence of the mans film making technique. 'Psycho' is a well known piece of shock that still resonates 50 years after it first terrified audiences. 'Vertigo' a whirling masterpiece that rewards repeated viewings. 'Rope' an 80 minute claustrophobic piece that harks back to the Leopold and Loeb case of early 20th century Chicago. 'Marnie' and 'The Birds' are classic late Hitchcock. There are a couple of duds, notably 'Topaz' and 'Frenzy' but for 17.99 its almost a steal, so treat yourself to a cinematic education, invest in the master.
