Rating:  - One Star for the Quality not the Movies
These are some more great Cagney films as always, but I do not suggest purchasing this version since they look terrible. It seems like they have recorded the original negatives without them being cleaned, not even VHS quality, it's best to buy them by themselves, there are much better quality copies. I've seen Blood on the Sun on VHS, then saw it in this set and was amazed at how much worse the quality was. They are great films, just get them in a different set or by themselves, trust me.
