Cary Grant Dvds Views
One of the most beloved movie stars in the history of Hollywood, Cary Grant has five of his films collected in this gift pack of DVDs. The five films available here are Father Goose, The Grass Is Greener, Indiscreet, Operation Petticoat, and That Touch of Mink. Each of these films is available individually, but they have been placed together for an attractive price thanks to Artisan. Closed-captioned English soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital Mono. These films are all good Grant vehicles, but none of them are among his best.
Well, Sony appears to have been paying attention to what Warner and Universal started doing three years ago -- they're bringing out attractive multi-disc sets like this Cary Grant grouping. The packaging follows Universal's example except that each film is on its own individual disc and the price is a bit high. And then there's that old marketing 'gotcha!' that will irk loyal customers, the ones who bought the four titles that have already been offered individually: At least for now, the much-desired Holiday is available only as part of this new set! Collecting DVDs is getting to be like collecting baseball cards --- one quickly amasses a tall stack of duplicates.
