Rating:  - Takes me back!
Old movies that took me back to the days of hiding in the trunk under sleeping bags to get into the drive-in for free. The only thing different is that this time I'm actually watching the movies. If you like old "B" movies this is a great value.
Rating:  - These are the official Crown International Pictures versions and great quality!!
I have long been a fan of "The Teacher" - (1974) but had never seen "The Stepmother" - (1971). I previously owned "The Teacher" on VHS and also have the first DVD release from Westlake, which is apparently a bootleg!! I read somewhere else that these new DVD versions are all officially approved by and were taken directly from the vaults of Crown International Pictures, who first released them back in the 1970's. If you haven't ever seen "The Teacher", it alone is more than worth the price of the set, which is already a great bargain. "The Stepmother" is also very interesting and worthwhile for fans of actress Katherine Justice, who appeared in the very first Columbo show in 1967 and was then a familiar face on such shows as Gunsmoke and Cannon. You certainly never saw her topless and bare-bottomed on any of those shows anyway!! If you love the old 1970's drive-in films this DVD set is a must have!! My only complaint is that the 8-films are on four double-sided DVD's which can be tricky to handle without leaving fingerprints. Otherwise it is a fantastic collection, value and bargain.
Rating: - Cheese Heaven
This is the best DVD value on Amazon. Eight movies for $10 and not a bad one in the bunch. These B movies have some well known actors, good stories and decent quality. Plenty of topless nudity too. A must buy. You won't be sorry.
Rating: - Less than two dollars a movie?
Talk about value for your entertainment dollar? There are 8 films in this collection, which is selling for just under ten bucks! And the movies are great, if you are into 1970s camp. There are conflicts that come about in people's lives in every film, the conflicts usually the result of a sexual/romantic situation. Somebody central to the film dies in every one of them. Bellbottoms and other 70s paraphernalia (disco music, tight jeans, feathered hair, etc.) are widely represented. The music is cool in that "Convoy" kind of way. Really, for exploitation fare the stories are pretty compelling, but still just offbeat enough to give you the campy giggles. I would pay $10 for any one of these movies - getting 8 of them at that price almost makes me feel like I have stolen something.
Rating: - good quality
This is a pretty good deal for these films. BCI put out 4 double feature DVD's of the movies that are in this single release(2 double sided DVD's).
The quality is good, at least as far as I know. I mean I don't know how good they were on original release. If you like these films and want to save some money, this is for you.
