action packed

Although some the films viewed had some pure quality I am well satified with them ,so I have ordered 4 other 50 packed movies from Amazon and still waitng to arrive by post. I have been buying from Amazon for the last four months and to date i can recommend readers to buy from Amazon because they are safe realable thanks keep it up John Fenech
from Malta.

Adequate quality, one classic, some nuggests.

Classics is less applicable here than in most of the other entries in this 50 movie pack series. However, the quality of sound and pictures is adequate,equal to what one expected to see in the early days of television when studios were still withholding their films from the competitive medium.For one interested in the history of film, the Doug Fairbanks (Sr) films are both enjoyable and neceesary viewing, as would be the Brix Tarzan,the Margaret Lockwood/Boris Karloff, British Intelligence, and a few others.
Probably the Sacco-Vanzetti case does not resonate with younger viewers but for those still moved by it, the film version of Maxwell Anderson's, Winterset, is a nostalgic classic, starring Burgess Meredith and Margo, from the original stage production.
For those with relatively limited funds, I would advise steering clear of this oneand spending your money on some of the other 50 packs which offer more meat and less filler. For those whose budget is not stringent, there are a sufficent number of films worth viewing to justify the expenditure if one can get it at the discounted price available from some of the Amazon associated sellers. I paid $12.59, including shipping charges, which makes me comfortable with the inadequacies of the set.
