The quality of MILL CREEK ENTERTAINMENT DVD box sets is quite good and the price incredibly reasonable. ACTION CLASSICS is a great way to give your movie collection variety.

Splendid offering, particularly for the price!
If you're considering purchasing this set, I only ask you to recall the old adage "you get what you pay for". First a note about the packaging, each disc is double-sided and in a cardboard slipcase with a brief summary of the plot. There are no extras, though each film has a limited amount of scene selections.

Of course, these films were not at all cleaned up (not picture-wise nor audio-wise) for the transfer to DVD. However, if they were, you would be paying three to four times as much. Keep in mind there *will* be some moments where a few lines of dialogue are inaudible or the picture contorts briefly. Even so, I've watched twelve selections so far and enjoyed them immensely.

Granted, most of the films here could be classified as "b-movies". But if you're a fan of the golden age of cinema and have already seen all the classics (Casablanca, Joan of Arc, Citizen Kane, etc) - this set introduces you to some long forgotten hard-to-find gems.

Movie mis-identified
The movie titled "Manhunt" in this set is not as described (a 1958 Western with Don Murray, also known as "From Hell to Texas"). It is instead a one-star 1972 Italian gangster movie with Henry Silva and Woody Strode, originally titled "La Mala ordina," shown full-screen in uncorrected CinemaScope. But at less than 35 cents per movie, does it matter? There are enough gems in this set (e.g., the 1920 silent "Last of the Mohicans" with Wallace Beery) to make it well worth buying.
