Well, the star of these 6 transfers is Boom Town which looks exceptionally good. On the bad side we have Wife vs Secretary which is quite dreadful. We have made individual comments in each separate review but in general I would say the Clark Gable Signature Collection is somewhat weaker than Warner's usual high standard. Of course we have no idea as to the condition of the original elements so I am placing no blame, but for those with anticipation of quality akin to some of Warner's past stellar boxset collections - you might be a tad disappointed. I still state that the entire collection is very watchable just with more visible earmarks than you might have expected. I had no problem with audio on any of the releases and all sport excellent optional subtitles !(English, French or Spanish). There are no commentaries, but certainly a large number of vintage featurettes. Of all - I enjoyed Clark Gable: Tall, Dark & Handsome (hosted by Liam Neeson) on the San Francisco disc the best. I kind of got a kick out of the musical shorts and TravelTalk supplements. I had only seen one of the films before so I got a quick appreciation of Gable and found something worthwhile in every film. We recommend the boxset on the proviso that you do not set you sights too high in regards to the image. The majority of these films are in the neighborhood of 70 years old and hence having in any state on digital is a bit of a blessing. Enjoy these classic Hollywood features and all they have to offer. |
