Editorial Reviews

THE INCREDIBLE MR. LIMPET A mild-mannered bookkeeper who longs to serve his country gets his wish – when he turns into a fish – and becomes the U.S. Navy’s new secret weapon. Don Knotts plays one of his best-loved roles in this delightful and fondly remembered blend of live-action and animation. FLIPPER The beloved dolphin first swam into the world’s minds and hearts in this warm and winning adventure starring Chuck Connors and Luke Halpin as young Sandy, the boy who rescues him and then is saved by Flipper from sharks. The basis for the popular 1964-68 TV series that followed. NATIONAL VELVET In her starmaking role, Elizabeth Taylor plays a wide-eyed adolescent who, helped by jockey pal Mickey Rooney, trains a horse she won in a raffle, for the Grand National Steeplechase. This wonderful winner of two Academy Awards* co-stars Donald Crisp and a young Angela Lansbury. LASSIE COME HOME In “one of the all-time great family films” (Leonard Maltin’s Movie Guide), a remarkable collie – sold by her poor family – braves storms, hunger and peril to return to her young master (Roddy McDowall). Donald Crisp, Dame May Whitty, Edmund Gwenn, Nigel Bruce, Elsa Lanchester and 11-year-old Elizabeth Taylor form a top supporting cast.

The classic 4 movie DVDS was packaged well and damage occured during shipping. The DVD cover and disk were in new/perfect condition. My fiance and I enjoyed watching all 4 classic movies: Lassie Come Home, National Velet, Flipper and the Incredable Mr Limpet. We watching/enjoyed thesemovies and they brought back good memories of our childhood. We received 4 incredable classic movies that we will keep, add to our movie collection and share with faily or friends. We received an incredable value without having to pay shipping or tax.

I bought this just so I could see the "incredible Mr Limpet". I was a bit disappointed in the quality of the DVD. I skips in parts, even though there are NO visible signs of scratches, etc on the disc.

Other than that, you still can not beat the value of getting 4 movies in one set!
