5 out of 5 stars An incredible release.   April 26, 2008

Only April and already we have THE finest DVD release of the year (although Fremantle's "Absolutely Everything" box comes close!). Would/could any company other than the BFI lavish this kind of care and attention on such a wide range of rarely seen films? Painfully nostalgic and of immense social importance the films in this set are a history lesson in a box and the superb content is matched only by the packaging and book that is included with the release. A sturdy box houses a fold out digipack (please use thin-paks next time BFI) and it's accompanying book. Don't be fooled by descriptions of this as a "booklet", it is a substantial piece in it's own right - something anyone interested in the subject would be happy to pay 5+ for on it's own and for what you get the set as a whole is bargain-priced even at full RRP. Even the mighty Criterion would struggle to match the quality and assurance of this staggering release. Highly recommended (as is their "Free Cinema" release).
