War: 10-Movie Collection



Great set of War films!
Again Universal did an awesome job on these movies and putting them in a wonderful collection. These are great movies, but don't expect too much War action. There isn't any special features and there is only English audio and no other language and subtitles. There are three disks with four on the first and three each on the last two disks. Two of these films were also released as DVD-R and now you can get them as straight DVD with no MOD. There are also two films that have never been released on DVD and now you can have them. All quality of the movies are quite good and I can't tell any difference from past releases. "The Eagle and the Hawk" and "The Last Outpost" were part of a TCM Vault box sets.

Here are the movies included:
The Eagle and the Hawk (1933/B&W/Full frame/68mins)
-Fredric March, Cary Grant, Jack Oakie, Carole Lombard; Directed by Stuart Walker
The Last Outpost (1935/B&W/Full frame/72mins)
-Cary Grant, Claude Rains, Gertrude Michael,...

I can thin the herd a bit with this collection and pass on or sell the single copies now. The subjects cover war films mostly, WWII dominates, but there are WWI, post WWII offerings as well as British colonial (Bengal lancers) stories and a western covering the Apache uprisings of the1890s. The two films ideally wanted were both Universal offerings from the 60s and 70s. Richard Burton in the 1971 "Raid on Rommel" co-starred with out takes from the movie Tobruk..Burton has blond dyed hair to better match scenes where shots of George Pepard carry he action from the earlier film. Not original, but I liked the story anyhow. The movie I particularly wanted for years, and my main...
