Good collection if all you're after are the movies ......
I'm a huge fan of Clint Eastwood ---- and always will be ---- so naturally I just had to get this collection. This is basically a three-pack set containing three of his westerns from Universal Pictures: High Plains Drifter (1973), Joe Kidd (1972) and Two Mules for Sister Sara (1969), all of which are great films. The color and picture transfer for each is nice, complete with a high-quality anamorphic widescreen presentation. My only complaint against this set is a total lack of any extra features for any of the movies, save for a theatrical trailer for each. Other than that, there's no commentaries, no deleted scenes, no extra footage, no featurettes, not even so much as a scene selection option on the main menu. Even the original single-disc editions of these movies had that! The three movies are contained on 2 discs ; disc 1 contains 'High Plains Drifter' and 'Joe Kidd', while disc 2 contains 'Two Mules for Sister Sara' solo. All in all, I'm not disappointed at having gotten this...
Nice collection, but really deserves better sound & some extras
All three movies have been digitally remastered, but unfortunately the sound wasn't. Just the basic Dolby recording which is disappointing. And the only extras offered are the theater trailers; no deleted scenes, interviews, photo stills or any of the other things we've come to expect from these types of collections. Great movies but delivered in a mediocre way.
Three great Eastwood westerns for the price of one
If you are not looking for special features and just want an inexpensive way to own three great Eastwood westerns, all for the price of one, this set is for you.
The films included are High Plains Drifter, Joe Kidd, and Two Mules For Sister Sara. They have all been remastered and look great here. This would be a good, inexpensive way to get your Eastwood western collection started. And unlike many similar sets, none of these three films are duds.
