Will you buy it online? The package originally could open like a cigarete pack but later version was like a slipcase I think

It's one my favourite box sets and I can't recommend this enough. I never stop raving about it. Every film in it is amazing. Pick it up right away without even thinking about it! I bought mine, second-hand, mint condition, for £14.99, which was the bargain of the year for me.

Yeah that's the one thing that annoyed me. It's sti a great film though.

On an earlier note, I own the flip up one. It's really cool. It actually has hinges.

It does look like a great round-up of essential noirs - I'd always point people towards the US Warner Noir boxsets but these are quite expensive at the moment. For the price this collection is well worth it. I just wish they would revert Out of the Past to its alternative title - Build My Gallows High - I love that title !

Got a bit drunk yesterday and ordered these:
The Godfather Trilogy: Coppola Restoration [Blu-ray]
The Beyond [Blu-ray]
The Funhouse [Blu-ray]
Frankenhooker [Blu-ray]
Demons 1 and 2 - Limited Edition Steelbook [Blu-ray]

which I shouldn't have since I bought a house and have to save for furniture and stuff.
Oh well, my first arrow releases
