Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Good, for what they are.
You gotta be a fan of Cary Grant to like these. They are fairly typical of the romantic comedies of the time. These movies are kind of like cotton candy -- sweet and enjoyable, but not much substance.
Father Goose is, in my opinion, the better of the two, because is allows Cary Grant to stretch a bit, while still remaining true to the genre. His gruff, unshaven character is a departure from the suave, sophisticated of That Touch of Mink.

Rating:  - One is enough
I give this collection 4 stars only because it came with another DVD instead of just Father Goose. This is my all time favorite Cary Grant movie and I would have preferred that it came separate. But, you can never have too much Cary Grant. :)
Rating:  - Great twin Pack
ALthough I will be honest enough to say that I would have paid the same amount just for Father Goose. There are not a whole lot of Bells and whistles which you normally associate with a DVD, but the transfer was clean, so you have a nice version of the two.
Father Goose is possibly Cary Grant's best role, if only because this is not a typical Cary Grant type of Character. The story, that of a Itenerant Beach bumb who gets dragooned into service during WW II is absolutely priceless.

Rating:  - Clarification of previous review
Note that in my previous review, in which I commented on the dreadful DVD transfer, I was only referring to the "That Touch of Mink" DVD. The Father Goose DVD is not that bad.
Rating: - Lousy DVD transfer
Nice, light-hearted comedy but the quality of the DVD transfer is dreadful. This is the second Artisan disc I have bought, the other being The Quiet Man, and definitely the last. The sound is muffled and the video is blurred throughout. Still, I suppose it's an improvement on The Quiet Man, which along with its blurred picture had no sound!
By the way, the fault does not lie with my home theatre system, which has been properly calibrated by an ISF-trained expert.
