COLORIZED Film Noir --AVOID AT ALL COST
If you must buy this, get it for THE STRANGER, which appears to be the same sparkling transfer as on the stand-alone MGM disk.
However Fritz Lang's WOMAN IN THE WINDOW is available on here ONLY in a colorized version. Might as well take crayons to an Ansel Adams print.
Halfway Decent
The transfer for ''The Stranger'' (which is a great movie) is excellent, much better than some other releases. However, ''The Woman in the Window'' is COLORIZED!? Why? I have no idea. It's a Film Noir that relies heavily on shadows and darkness, which the phony color lacks.
Two Great Film Noirs
These are two great Edward G. Robinson Film Noirs despite "The Woman in the Window" in color. Both movies are in Full screen and run for about 95mins to 99mins(1hr 35mins to 1hr 39mins). Both movies video and audio are great and I didn't have any trouble watching them. There isn't any extras besides the movie. If you want "The Woman in the Widow" then I'd recommend getting the MGM DVD that's also listed on Amazon. Overall this is a nice set of Film Noir movies.
