Rating:  - Great movie package
Three wonderful classic romantic movies in one package. What a great idea! And the price can't be beat. The only negative is that Doctor Zhivago is on a dual-sided disk. Of course, that was only a negative because there's nothing in the package that clearly indicates this and the print on the disk is so small it's difficult to read. Once you know to turn the disk over for part 2, it's not an issue.
I love these movies and having them in one package is terrific. In fact, I bought one for my daughter for Christmas. (I'll be sure to tell her about the Doctor Zhivago disk, of course.)
Rating:  - Great Movies and Price, but awful packaging!
I have to agree with previous reviews that this was a great price for three great movies, however, I was very dissapointed with the packaging. It appears that they took discs from the single sets (that probably were not selling) and repackaged them into this disc. I tend to be very meticulous with my packaging, and it bothers me that the disc for Casablanca says DISC 1, but there is no DISC 2. In addition, when you unfold the packaging, GWTW and CASABLANCA have "pretty" discs, and then you have the ugly clear faced disk for Zhivago.
It is true that if all you are looking for is the movie, then this a great set, but if you like packaging as well, buy the individual movies.
Rating: - 3 classics in one
I love the quality of the reproductions. Gone with the Wind is 2 disks, that is good, Casablanca is one disk, and why would they put Dr. Zhivago on a 2 sided disk? Couldn't the producers of this set put Dr Z on 2 disks also for those of us who store our disks in a machine?
Rating:  - Excellent Value for the Money.
This set is a bargain. Three of the finest movies of all time in one set for about $30.00. Packaging is done well, with a nice cover. For those who complain that "Gone With the Wind" is not in widescreen format - please understand that there is NO widescreen version of "Gone With the Wind" as widescreen didn't appear until the 1950's and GWTW ("Gone With the Wind") was filmed in 1939! Great performances in all three films and GWTW's cinematography is so excellent that nearly every scene is a painting. So tragic that Leslie Howard, who played Ashley Wilkes in GWTW, was killed only a few years later in World War Two. Great movies all, and a great package deal.
Rating: - Essential Classics
These are three of my favorite movies with some of the best performances I have seen.
Clark Gable was great in "Gone with the Wind", but Vivien Leigh was magnificent and made me a lifelong fan with this movie.
Humphrey Bogart and the beautiful Ingrid Bergman, who could ask for more? In "Casablanca" you also get a great script and "As Time Goes By."
"Doctor Zhivago" gave me my first look into the Russia of the early 20th century. It is also a passionate love story.
