Jean Harlow Centential Set DVD- R Warner Archive

http://www.wbshop.com/on/demandware....84&PID=4175897

7 Films Release Date 10/25/11. $44.95 for rewards members $49.95 everyone else.

BOMBSHELL (1933) - REMASTERED Glamour queen Lola (Harlow) is quitting the movie biz – something her manipulative press agent (Lee Tracy) can’t allow!

THE GIRL FROM MISSOURI (1934) - REMASTERED Eadie’s not easy! A plucky bachelorette (Harlow) intends to bag a New York millionaire…without abandoning her virtue.

RECKLESS (1935) - REMASTERED Harlow goes dramatic as a Broadway star accused of murder after the death of her high-living, high society hubby. With William Powell, the last real-life love of Harlow’s short life.

RIFFRAFF (1935) She works in a cannery. He’s a fisherman. But their playful romance is fated to give way to a tragedy surrounding union activism. She’s Harlow, he’s Spencer Tracy.

SUZY (1936) Harlow, Cary Grant, and Franchot Tone are involved in a World War I triangle of romance and spy intrigue.

PERSONAL PROPERTY (1937) Debt-ridden socialite Harlow puts on a show of wealth to impress a suitor who’s also making a pretense of fortune. Robert Taylor is the butler who sees through the ruses.

SARATOGA (1937) In Harlow’s final film she plays the daughter of a horse breeder who is engaged to a millionaire, but drawn to a bookie played by Clark Gable.

Special features included:
* Portfolio of seven 5” x 7” MGM studio portraits of Miss Harlow

* Trailers for six films, including newly discovered trailers for Bombshell, The Girl From Missouri, and Personal Property

* Rare, never before heard Reckless pre-recording sessions including Jean Harlow’s unused vocals captured live on the MGM stage

* Lux Radio Theater presentation "Madame Sans-Gene" with Jean Harlow and Robert Taylor (Audio Only)

* Two Leo is on the Air radio “air trailers”

This is opposed to the $19.99 per film that the Warner Archive usually charges before any discounts like the recent 5 for $50 sale they had on Columbus Day. You would normally expect the 7 films to cost $140 at the archive. If they have any coupons in the next few months perhaps they will work since the 10% discount for rewards members works. Item page says this item ships for free but that is only true if you include this item in an order of $60 or more. Shipping for this item alone is $5 or $2.50 if you are a insiders rewards member.

Re: Jean Harlow Centential Set DVD- R Warner Archive

I was all excited when I first saw this until realizing it was burned discs. I will not pay this sort of coin for burns, or for stuff that's relatively common (I acknowledge there are no official factory pressing of these titles at this time, but most are still not real hard to find).

I was planning on purchase when I mistakenly thought they were factory pressed.

I was not happy that this is a DVD-R and not a pressed disc set. However I don't buy bootlegs and this is what is available. Those who do not wish to pay Warner Archive prices for what they consider an inferior product would be better off burning their own disc when TCM broadcast the films. Then you could also have Red Dust and Hold Your Man two Harlow films not released in any DVD format.

Well, a few say remastered at least, but they are charging an arm and a leg, and going retro with the full sized box set....

While this set definitely isn't perfect, charging 50 for 7 films really isn't that bad... about 7 bucks a film. Usually, single films there go for 20 a pop.
