5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding set in a great format!, September 15, 1999

By	[e-mail] (Cupertino,CA) - See all my reviews

Being a huge fan of Hitchcock's work, I consider this set a real treat. Vertigo, one of the truly great movies ever produced, and ,of course, Psycho make for treasured viewing. The package includes very well done written information on the films themselves, with quotes form the actors and others involved in the filming. The DVD's also have additional pieces on the making of each film, providing a lot of juicy stuff for the serious fan. The quality of the DVD's are, as they should be, excellent. And, of course, the selection of four Alfred Hitchcock Presents programs are really a treat, with terrific video and audio quality. The set is beautifully packaged and is a must for any lover of these films with DVD access.

5.0 out of 5 stars MUST OWN!, August 11, 2000

By	keviny01 - See all my reviews

This smashing package should be on every Hitchcock lover's shelf. It contains two of the master's greatest works, VERTIGO and PSYCHO, restored and letterboxed, with extra material galore, and 4 episodes of the "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" TV series (which cannot be bought separately). Even if you have seen the movies, seen the "making-of" specials on TV, it would still be worthwhile to obtain this set. Any Hitchcock lover would want to watch the films again and again in the best video and audio qualities ever available.

One regret is the restored DVD version of The Birds isn't included in this package. Together with Psycho and Vertigo, these are 3 of the best DVDs made for Hitchcock films I've seen. Hoooooorray to Universal! I wound up buying this set AND The Birds.

This set was put together in commemoration of Hitchcock's 100th birthday. So I have a feeling Universal won't keep making it after all the copies are sold. Get it before it goes out of print!

To echo another user's comment, some of the supplements on the Psycho DVD are hard to get to. You need to press left or right on the remote to flip through the menu and content, but it is sometimes not obvious. And on my DVD player, there is often a delay after I press the key before the screen changes.

Finally, a great Hitchcock box set Collection! A great value with a lot bonus materials! The efforts they put in to restore these films is admirable and the result is amazing. Highly recommended.
