5.0 out of 5 stars
Two of his best films + his most popular one in a bargain package, December 26, 2005
This review is from: The Films of Paul Newman (The Verdict/The Hustler/Butch Cassidy) (DVD)
This is like most bargain multi-pack DVD packages: it simply takes three pre-existing DVD's (with the same inserts and plastic cases) and puts them in a boring, cardboard slipcase.
The concept isn't exciting, but economically, this is an excellent deal. It would be more expensive to buy these DVD's individually, and there really isn't any filler either. "The Verdict" and "The Hustler" are not only two of Newman's best performances, their two of his best films, even better than "Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid," which is probably his most popular movie and is still entertaining decades later.
Paul Newman's easily one of Hollywood's best actors of the last 50 years, and this is an efficient way to scoop up a good chunk of his work.

What a treat, March 12, 2008
This review is from: The Films of Paul Newman (The Verdict/The Hustler/Butch Cassidy) (DVD)
WOW...just plain WOW. You get 3 of Paul Newman's greatest movies for this low low price. They are packaged in standard DVD cases just as if you were buying them separately in a store....except you are getting each for about 1/3 to 1/2 the price you would pay for them separately. Actually I think Paul Newman's performance is better in these 3 movies than in some of his pot-boilers like Cat On a Hot Tin Roof or The Long Hot Summer (where his performances seem stiff and over-acted). In the Hustler, Jackie Gleason proves he is as fine a dramatic actor as any of his time and has a true reason for his reported "swelled head". Although I still think Hud was Paul Newman's best-ever performance, you can't beat the price of this set if you are a Paul Newman collector.

3 Great Movies with Paul Newman, November 11, 2008
This review is from: The Films of Paul Newman (The Verdict/The Hustler/Butch Cassidy) (DVD)
Paul Newman was and will be one of my favorites actors, not only he was very handsome he was a great actor and the movie The Verdict proves what I am saying. I recomended it and the price is right. Great bargain.
3 movies for the price of one?......Butch Cassidy is another great movie and The Hustler shows how good he was.
Thank you for your time, ERT
