1.0 out of 5 stars Disfigured, October 24, 2006

This review is from: The Pirates of the Silver Screen Collection (DVD)

While this collection could be a lot of fun it is marred by an advertisement for the collection which is superimposed in the bottom right hand corner of the screen and runs continuously throughout the program.

This is a horrible practice and should not be supported. I wish Amazon would note this in their product descriptions so that folks with such little regard for this material could be avoided.

Great job by Passport Video for releasing "The Pirates of the Silver Screen Collection", the digital transfere with a somewhat clean and clear print...looking forward to more high quality releases from the vintage era of the '20s, '30s & '40s ... order your copy now from Amazon or Passport Video where there are plenty of copies available on DVD, stay tuned once again for top notch performances mixed with swashbuckling adventure --- here's a collectioin of classic films that appeal to the entire family from the silent to the talkies.

Had a lot of fun with these. Introduced my kids to what real movies look like.
