Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This DVD set is a bit of a mixed bag. On the one hand, you get four good-to-excellent movies. "The Wild Bunch" and "McCabe and Mrs. Miller" are both classics, and "Jeremiah Johnson" and "The Train Robbers" are nice additions. On the other hand, the packaging and presentation are very cheap. Instead of four discs each containing one movie, there are two double-sided discs that seem to have been haphazardly made. I had to immediately take back the first copy of this set I bought and exchange it, because one of the discs was badly scratched.
The sad thing is that this could easily be a 5-star set, especially with the inclusion of "McCabe and Mrs. Miller," which is a very underrated film and possibly Robert Altman's best. I would hope that TCM will pay more attention to the quality of their products in the future.
