"5 Jimmy Stewart films for about $4 each is hard to not give a 5 star rating to. 3 of these films are seeing their DVD debut (unlike the John Wayne set that came out today with all 5 already being available individually). I am already owner of The GLenn Miller Story and SHenandoah as many Jimmy STewart fans must and still consider this a good purchase. The three movies new to DVD all have merit and span a 20 year range from his first leading role in 1936 ("Next TIme We Love" where he mentions lindberghs flight to Paris in his first lines)to "Thunder Bay" in 1953. This was Universals first widescreen film and directed by Anthony Mann. I am a big fan of all the Mann/Stewart films and this one is terrific.
Bottom line...if you don't own any and are a Jimmy Stewart fan...whopeee!
If you do own a couple...its still a good deal.
PS..these 5 films are on 3 DVDs but NO FLIPPERS...one sided dual layers!"
The movies do not contain chapters.

"I am a big fan of Jimmy Stewart. I like most all of his movies.
My big problem with this collection is there are no chapters in the dvd's. One of the reasons I like dvd's is they allow me to quickly find my favorite scenes in a movie. For instance in the Glenn Miller story I would like to be able to quickly find some of the scenes where the band is playing.
This a great collection at a great price and you can't go wrong watching most anything by Jimmy Stewart but if you like chapters in your dvd's you will be disappointed."
Fantastic!!

"Enjoyed two of the movies. Still have three to see. They are basically for my collection of old movies. These are so much better than movies today."
