Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Horrible quality control!
I got the Hitchcock "Premiere" collection from Amazon, and experienced multiple problems with the discs--freezing, pixels, vibration, etc. I got a second replacement set from Amazon, and have experienced the same problems. "Paradine Case" is the worst, and the problem was in the exact same spot in the replacement. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS SET until a recall is made, or a second edition is available. I tried these discs on multiple machines and on my laptop. The problems are NOT caused by user error or ... Read More
Rating:  - great films - ridiculous packaging
I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. All of the discs in my set played just fine. Of course as soon as I received this I saw that the packaging was ridiculous and I immediately removed the discs and put them in replacement dvd slim cases. One has to wonder what they are thinking when they produce a package like this. It's clearly one of the most elaborate and expensive boxes for any dvd set that I've purchased, but it is totally useless. It fails to do the one thing that a dvd case is supposed to ... Read More
Rating: - Defective Discs
Tried two sets, and both featured defective discs that wouldn't play. Amazon has been great about handling the issue, but MGM is going to have to step up and redo this set and pull the defective ones off the shelves.
Rating: - Almost perfect set...
I've just spent the last two days watching every disc in this set. The transfers are excellent ("Rebecca," "Notorious" and "Spellbound" are as good as the Criterion editions) as are the supplements. The British films are easily the best editions ever released in the United States, and superior to the Region 2 editions I've seen from the UK. Each one of the discs played perfectly. I removed each disc VERY carefully and don't plan to put them back in the album. I'll store them in plastic sleeves ... Read More
Rating:  - 3 of 8 Discs Were Defective!
This problem may be varying from set to set and disc to disc, but the discs for "The Lodger", "Rebeecca" and "Spellbound" all made noise as they ran in the disc player. The other five were fine and all 8 of the discs have good visual quality. But for the first time in the years that I've ordered DVDs from Amazon I am returning a set, and I'm not seeking a replacement because it sounds like too many of the sets out there are defective. What a disappointment -- I've been waiting for the 3 British films ... Read More
