For 5 Kino films it is. Maybe their taking a cue from Warner Bros since WB Noir sets are so well priced. Kino has had some poor transfers in the past though. Anybody able to comment on how these films look?

well, that is one concern of mine. Go to DVDBeaver for a really tough critical review of these tranfers. That is why I haven't bought them yet -$30 list is insane for each of these without restoration. But for about $7 a pop, well- that's about the price of a disc from Alpha!

I was cosidering some of these titles in the DDD Kino sale. Glad I waited. Wish Scralet Street was in this set. I'am tempted to get it at DDD now for 12.48 but I guess I will wait for the next set and see if its in there and in a thinpak.

I really want to see Sudden Fear in this set and one other, but how is the quality of transfers, etc. Kino isn't particularily known for the best handling of movies. Any idea if this is already on sale as part of DDD Kino sale?

As far as the Noir set goes, I ordered it from DDD (pre-ordered it, actually), and didn't find the price all that unreasonable. $7 each is only a little more than Alpha Videos, and I have yet to get a bad DVD from Kino...yeah, sometimes the image quality isn't as good as I'd like, but that the films are even available at all is enough for me. Thanks to companies like Kino, I'm putting together a pretty good collection!

back to the topic, the google $10 off $20 is still working at CD Universe (see related thread). They have the Kino set for $35.+ $5 shipping (ugh) = $40 -$10=$ $30.
Or about $6 a film...
