This DVD collection has been mastered from source prints that range from 16mm to 8mm reduction prints with maybe a 35mm print tossed in there. Our hipshot opinion of the DVD is that some films look very good and others are passable at best. Some of these films look better in more recent home video editions.

For our comparative reviews of these films, see our Mighty Like a Moose on home video page.
