Anyone getting the new Alfred Hitchcock collection from WB?

Ken,

Very well said! Grace Kelly must be the most beautiful screen actress ever -- her beauty is truly radiant whenever she graces the screen.

 

Here are some reviews of the new DVD.
It answers my earlier question about "Strangers". I am not familiar with Herb Kane but he certainly speaks highly of the three DVDs linked below.

Strangers On A Train:

The Wrong Man

http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htforum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=210088

 

This set arrived from amazon.com yesterday and so far so good. I popped in STRANGERS ON A TRAIN, and it does indeed look way better than the old WB DVD. Next, I quickly sampled THE WRONG MAN. It's great to see it cropped back to the intended 1.85:1 aspect ratio it had in theatres. That print's a little grainy, but I think that adds to feel of the movie.

This set will keep me busy until STAR WARS arrives!

I had opted for the free shipping option and was surprised at how soon it came.

 

"My wife and my dead wife. Am I the only one..."

 

can someone enlighten me on the soundtracks for these films in the new boxset? have they all been updated to 5.1? the lack of liner notes on any of the dvd boxes left me a little bewildered. the north by northwest is in 5.1, but the rest i havent a clue????

 

There have been a number of discussions and reviews on this set at Home Theater Forum.

Other than NBNW all disc are DD Mono, though, according to the reviews on the HT Forum site, the sound is quite good.

 

so then i guess i would have to set my dvd player to downmix and my dolby surround headphones to the stereo setting to get accurate sound from the discs?????
