    2 out of 5 stars too old.......2007-05-14

    these are really old movies -- 30s and 40s, so the image quality is very poor. I'd say go for other options unless you're into those old movies.

    5 out of 5 stars Whoa! Back to Saturday AM (40s) or Thursday nights 2AM (60s).......2007-05-03

    I haven't seen all 50 films yet, but this is a collection you've been looking for to bring back those nostalgic moments of sleeplessness, turning on the TV and seeing Boris Karloff as a Charlie Chan knock-off: British accent, that delightful, endearing lisp of his, ham-fisted private detectives sleuthing for ham-fisted clues(all wearing fedoras). Oh, the memories!! These are the movies that cling like dreams.

    This collection is GREAT! The quality of the copy is good, too: they've minimized the scratchiness of the old film, sound is good overall, some other quirks ... but hey! these films are older than grandpa!

    Wonderful value!

    4 out of 5 stars On a 1 to 10 scale, this collection is rated: 6.3.......2007-03-30

    Based on current polling numbers at a film resource website, the 50 titles in MYSTERY CLASSICS received an average rating (on a 1 to 10 scale) of 6.3.

    Not factored in are such considerations as audio/video transfer quality and condition of original footage. An outstanding mix of actors and titles make this collection very attractive for all fans of early cinema. Recommended.

    5 out of 5 stars Mystery Classics 50 Movie Pack.......2007-03-25

    After reading the reviews I was somewhat skeptical about purchasing this
    set but decided to try it. While there are a few serial types CD's I
    found this set contained a number of really good movies I had never seen
    before. Impact, Eyes in the Night, Kennel Club and others I found to be
    excellent movies. I guess a lot depends on what you are looking for.
    I was somewhat concerned from the reviews as to their being rather dark,
    but having played a great many of them on my computer monitor, found only
    a few I could consider dark.

    4 out of 5 stars Mystery Classics 50 Movie Pack Collection.......2007-03-14

    Out of 20 movies that I've seen so far (of the 50), almost all of them are great. Really enjoyable. SO much better than TV, which I never watch.
