The Joan Crawford Collection, Vol. 2 $14.98 on Amazon
I just ordered The Joan Crawford Collection, Vol. 2 (A Woman's Face / Flamingo Road / Sadie McKee / Strange Cargo / Torch Song) for $14.98 ,it's fulfilled by Amazon from a marketplace seller.
I have Prime so shipping is not an issue, still a great deal...I don't think I have seen it cheaper?

Terrific deal! I paid $25 for my copy from DD 3 years ago. I highly recommend it for anyone who digs La Crawford's unintentional camp in Flamingo Road, an attempt to recapture the Mildred Pierce magic, and Torch Song, ludicrously bad but oh so fun! The rest of the films in the set are actually pretty good.

I thought Strange Cargo was terrible, but was fascinated by A Woman's Face. You're right about Torch Song - it is stunningly, amusingly tacky. I can just see John Waters hooting over it. Joan cavorting and crooning in blackface has to be seen to be believed. The only irritating aspect is the packaging: there's a gorgeous close-up of Joan's face on the front cover, but the box folds out and has a translucent slip case, and as a result doesn't fit in with the rest of the WB sets.

I've only seen the fantastic Strange Cargo from this set, but that alone might be enough to justify me getting this.

Also not a fan of the packaging of this set. This was one of the first times WB went with the gatefold instead of individual cases and they pretty much stuck with that afterwards. It wound up replacing original art, a practice that they have unfortunately carried over to many of their Blu releases, though a mistake they corrected on the Archive titles.

Thank you for the heads up. The Cagney set is also $15 from Amazon, the cheapest I've seen it, and some of the TCM 4 packs are $6.something, which is cool too. I've been waiting to see The Bride Came C.O.D. forever, even if people say it's bad. Cagney and Davis are two of my favorites even though it's kind of like ice cream on pizza.

LOL. It is that, but it's also pretty entertaining. And don't forget about their other film together, JIMMY THE GENT, which is available in the Warner Archive.

I have never been able to sit through Bride Came COD. I've tried twice. I'm sure I'll eventually try one more time!

Thanks, Drake. The only movie in the set that I've seen is Flamingo Road, but I've wanted to see Sadie McKee, Strange Cargo and A Woman's Face for a long time.

Wonder if Shearer ever made peace with turning down Gone With The Wind to make her 2 awful final films: We Were Dancing & Her Cardboard Lover.

Now, V 2. A Woman's Face is a VERY underrated film, one of her very best performances, IMO.

It was 17.98 on Monday from a reseller, 1 in-stock and then it was 17.99 from another reseller. I bought it along with Vol. 2. I have some of the titles from the 1 set. I hope they are not snappers...

Got mine today. Quite pleased. The slller, "Knockout media' sent it by priority mail!
This one does NOT have seperate cases for each dvd, it's a fold out of fine quality. No cuts, punches, etc.

I received my package today. It had (2) copies of Joan Crawford Collection, Vol. 2 in it. Missing was The Joan Crawford Collection (Humoresque / Possessed (1947) / The Damned Don't Cry / The Women / Mildred Pierce) (1947). I sent Amazon an email about it. Each of the Vol. 2's I received has a bar code stuck on the outer packaging. One has The Joan Crawford Collectio.....The Women/Mildred Pierce) New. I wonder if Amazon will send me the right title sold by dvdsdoneright for 17.98 or just give me a refund? I'am thinking it will probably be the refund since they will say it was sold by another party.

That pushes my anti-corporate buttons when upc codes become more important than the actual item.

I got an email from Amazon. All they can do is give me a refund. The email did contain a link for the current offering of the title so I could place another order for it but it is now 23.47!!! I guess its something else to think about when buying something on Amazon from another party.

True. I just ordered the deluxe box set of RIO BRAVO from the marketplace, fulfilled by Amazon, and it came damaged. Amazon refunded the order, but would not exchange it. Fortunately I was able to reorder it for the same price I paid and am hoping the replacement will not be damaged.
