 The Legend Begins... April 4, 2010

Alfred Hitchcock - The Legend Begins is a great way to own some of the first films that Hitchcock ever directed. I purchased this at my local Walmart for $5 and it has been one of the best investments i've made in a long time. Specifically because The 39 Steps was on this collection made it all worthwhile. The quality of the discs are very good and the films themselves are well presented. 20 movies on 4 discs is a great value and the films are outstanding. Pick this one up.
 Don't be tempted by the price. Not a bargin!!! December 8, 2009

I thought I was getting a great deal. Well, the saying "you get what you pay for" held true. In fact, this set is worth less than I paid for it. Half the discs won't play and I was lucky that when trying them they didn't damage my DVD player. Not worth it!
 A plethora of genres! December 8, 2009

Although I'm not typically and classic movie watcher, I couldn't beat the price for what is now one of my favorite directors. These movies are the really early ones (some go as far back as his silent films) that didn't make the headlines we remember well, but the stories are captivating. It's a treasure indeed and will be watching these for quite some time.
Great collection of early Hitchcock October 12, 2009

This is a great collection of Hitchcock's early films, and for such a bargain. Unfortunately the resolution, sound, and quality of many of these films is not that great because of how old they are. Also, I find since they are British films, sometimes it's difficult with the un-restored sound to understand what they are saying. Three of Hitchcock's better early films are included among the bunch: The Thirty-Nine Steps, The Lady Vanishes, and Sabotage. These works are great predecessors for some of Hitchcock's later works, and you can definitely see a great film maker in the making here. This is a must-have set for any Hitchcock fan and it even includes hard to find films like many of his silent films!
Mainly older stuff September 14, 2009

This is a 4-DVD set, 5 shows per DVD, approximately 28 hours of Black and White Hitchcock shows, ranging from 1926 to 1962, and varying from 24 to 98 minutes each. Some are silent movies and some are from the weekly Hitchcock television series.
