SPOTLIGHT: The Alfred Hitchcock Masterpiece Collection
October 12th, 2005 by Cinema Eye
ALFRED HITCHCOCK: THE MASTERPIECE COLLECTION is one of the most beautiful DVD sets I have had the pleasure to own. It’s a velvet lined box with a door on the front that slides open to reveal 4 DVD cases. Each case is beautifully designed in its own right, designed using original release posters from the movies within. Each of the cases up to four DVDs - bringing the total to 14 movies and one bonus disc of special features. The box also contains a slender booklet with promotional art and brief synopses for each of the movies. Needless to say, it will take quite a bit of time to get through this collection, not to mention write reviews on all the films contained within. But I wanted to give you a heads-up on this great package. If you are a Hitchcock fan and you definitely need to check this one out.
