Universal R2 Box Sets for Doris Day, James Stewart, Cary Grant, Clint Eastwood

[John Hodson]

Thought it might be useful to create a thread about these humongous box sets coming from Universal. As usual, the usual caveats apply with Universal, who in some cases have produced better transfers in R1, and in the case of the RKO titles, where there is an R1 from Warner it is invariably better.

The Cary Grant set is tempting bar the price

[Guest 60307]

Both the Gary Grent and Jimmy Stewart boxsets are very tempting. Surely the idea with these is to temp viewers who wouldn't normally pick up a Gary Grant etc film. But at over a Ł100, there pitching them towards die hard fans, who will probably have five of more of the films listed

But a good box set is always nice to own
