For myself as someone who loves Bogart films the set was a disappointment. Only two of the six could be classed as classics.
Dead Reckoning and
The Harder They Fall.
Sirocco is just a cash in on
Casablanca,
Tokyo Joe isn't noir, it was an excuse to make the first American film in Japan following WWII, whilst
Knock on Any Door was instantly forgettable. The sixth film
The Family Secret doesn't even have Bogey in it. Despite that it's the third best in the set.
I've been disappointed with the quality of films on both noir box sets i've bought and won't be buying any others unless they are six films i've either seen or heard of.
