Customer Reviews

Old Vol 2 set better deal
You may want to buy the old Vol 2 box set before it goes out of print for this new edition released on April 1st. The previous Vol 2 lists 7 discs (4 single disc movies, 1 double disc SE movie and 1 dvd containing the Bette Davis story. That box set is currently selling on Amazon for 39.99. This new box set will run you 53.99 and only has listed 6 discs, which might mean they have excluded the disc containing The Bette Davis Story. So for 14 dollars more you can buy this set minus a disc or pick up the old set while it is still in print that contains an extra dvd in the collection. The original box Vol 2 box set is 5 stars but this one I am only giving 1 star for the increased price and the loss of a dvd to the collection. Below is the box set you might consider picking up over this one:

The Bette Davis Collection, Vol. 2 (Jezebel / What Ever Happened to Baby Jane Two-Disc Special Edition / The Man Who Came to Dinner / Marked Woman / Old Acquaintance / Stardust: The Bette Davis Story)

Why the same old Bette Davis Films??
I wish that whomever puts these compliations together would show some more imagination. Although they are wonderful films, I have seen Jezebel, Dark Victory ad nauseum on TCM. And why pray-tell did they include that boring, preachy, insufferable Watch on the Rhine on Volume III? What I'd like to see in a Bette Davis compilation is maybe Dangerous, Fog Over Frisco, Ex-lady, The Dark Horse or even the camp classic, Beyond the Forest. Or at least these films should be issued in a single release DVD. Additionally, somebody needs to restore her break though vehicle, Of Human Bondage--all the versions currently in release are awful, and need to be restored. I think Davis's early career needs to be better documented.

There ARE Seven Discs With This Boxset
I just wanted to let everyone know that there are 2 discs with "Whatever Happened To Baby Jane"... So you are still getting the same collection of the one that came out a couple of years before! So If you wanted a more up dated box set then the one that came out previously, then buy it!
