Five-disc boxed set:
http://www.amazon.ca/exec/obidos/ASI...487523-5634765

This set is attractive -- first of all, you get a couple of Hitchcock's best pictures, VERTIGO and REAR WINDOW. Then you get HARVEY, a smart Capra-esque comedy with a message, and WINCHESTER '73, a highly regarded gritty Western from the fifties. Lastly, DESTRY RIDES AGAIN, perhaps the weakest entry in the set, though still highly watchable, as young lawman Jimmy falls for dance hall floozy, Marlene Dietrich. All in all, a real bargain at 50 bucks.

Thanx, i must have missed this when it was first announced.

Yer welcome. Amazon lists the two Hitchcock movies separately at over $20 each. Makes the other discs in the set almost seem like a bonus.

A better bargain when you save $5 using a promotional code such as:

MAPSAVE5SMAG

True that. Helps pay the tax anyway.

The new boxset which was suppose to come out this past Tuesday has been delayed for 2 weeks.
