#TCM Greatest Classic Films Collection: Murder Mysteries (The Maltese Falcon / The Big Sleep / Dial M for Murder / The Postman Always Rings Twice 1946)# Best Cheap Discount Sales Reviews
This is an amazing set of four great movies and for a decent price. “Dial M for Murder” appears to have been remastered, and cleaned up, and really looks fantastic. The colors are rich and vibrant and the blacks are deep. “The Big Sleep” though, is not remastered, and has dust spots on the negative. Also, the left side of the frame sometimes appears dull and lacks the deep blacks seen on the right side of the frame. “The Postman Always Rings Twice” also has dust spots, though “The Maltese Falcon” appears to be clean.
I was surprised to also see that each film has many special features, including interviews with other directors, film historians, or archival experts. The packaging is basic but it does the job with a movie on each side of two discs in a DVD case. This set is an excellent buy.
Product Overview
THE MALTESE FALCON Some high-living lowlifes want to get their sweaty hands on a bejeweled falcon. Detective Sam Spade (Humphrey Bogart) wants to find out why – and who’ll take the fall for his pertner’s murder. Sydney Greenstreet, Mary Astor, Peter Lorre and Elisha Cook Jr. co-star in a crackling masterwork directed and written for the screen by John Huston. THE BIG SLEEP (1946) L.A. private eye Philip Marlowe (Humphrey Bogart) takes on a blackmail case…and wears out his gumshoes trailing murderers, nightclub rogues, the spoiled rich and more. Lauren Bacall joins Bogart under Howard Hawks’ brisk and atmospheric direction of an ace adaptation of Raymond Chandler’s novel. DIAL M FOR MURDER Alfred Hitchcock’s screen version of Frederick Knott’s stage hit casts Grace Kelly, Ray Milland and Robert Cummings as points of a romantic triangle. She loves Cummings; her husband Milland plots her murder. But when he dials a Mayfair exchange to set the plot in motion, his right number gets the wrong answer! THE POSTMAN ALWAYS RINGS TWICE (1946) Based on the novel by James M. Cain (Double Indemnity, Mildred Pierce), this quintessential film noir stars John Garfield and Lana Turner as illicit lovers who botch a first attempt to bump off her husband, pull it off and betray each other at trial. Amorous attractions never proved so fatal as in this steamy, stormy classic.
5 Stars for the Films, 3 for the Packaging – Angela Wilson – Midwest
I bought this set because I LOVE the films in it – and it was very inexpensive. I bought it despite the fact that these were on double-sided discs – which never last as long and tend to have a lot of problems with skipping and locking up.
While the films themselves were great (I prefer them on full screen), the packaging was not. The first disc is in a hard plastic sleeve that slams against the second disc, which is attached to the back of the plastic jacket. The second disc had scratches on it when it arrived NEW. I had to clean it twice before it would play without skipping. This would not be an issue if they did not used double-sided discs. I won’t buy any more of these sets because of that. They are priced great, but I’d rather get collections that don’t get scratched right out of the factory.
Great MOVIES – G. Cahill – St Peters, MO United States
The “GENIUS” before me ruins the rating for this great compilation. He only gives 1 star! His lone reason? The movies aren’t “letterboxed”. Hello, Einstein… these movies were NOT filmed in the “widescreen” format. Their aspect ratio is pretty much that of a standard TV show from the 60’s or 70’s. Sometimes, the “folks” use this medium to decide on a purchase. It would be a lo-down dirty shame if someone misses out on these wonderfull films because some @X#X%X has NO clue what he is writing about. These are all fantastic movies! In ANY format! Shame on YOU, BRADW!!!
Not letterboxed! – bradley a wright – Seattle
I started to buy this set and then realized the movies were all “full screened” and not reduced or letterboxed. You lose 25% of the picture and a lot of the ambiance. Not good for Noir films, or any film for that matter.
Shame on TCM! Wait until they come out in letterbox!
