That's good news, although I wish they could have found room for Marked Woman, a great film that seemed on the thematic fringe of a couple other boxsets (though I guess it wasn't quite Gangster or Controversial enough for inclusion) and that I was really hoping would be included here. Oh well.
Still another great package from Warners though...
