Glaring Omissions
How can you put together a collection of Sidney Poitier's films and NOT include such true groundbreakers as 'To Sir, With Love' or the amazing 'Guess Who's Coming To Dinner' - which is not only landmark for it's 'subject matter' but also was Spencer Tracy's last film??? I don't understand it. At first I thought this was going to be a great collection - and it is by virtue of being centered such an amazing man and actor - but it's not the set it could have been... or SHOULD have been. I'd rather buy the collector's editions of the individual films.
The man is a genius - this should have showcased that.

Fantastic deal for this collection of classics!
If you love, admire and/or respect Mr. Poiter's early works and want to be sure you have some of them on DVD's of high quality, I have only two words about this classic collection: BUY IT!
