This budget DVD-R collection has been mastered from a range of reduction prints.
The films are accompanied by soundtracks compiled from preexisting recordings.
We wouldn’t recommend this below-average disc but a few of the films are available nowhere else on home video. However, the low quality of many of the source prints can make this DVD tough going.
