That's a great set but i counted ten films he only directed.

Could have knocked a hundred quid off the price by only including on screen appearances.

But then you could also add a hundred notes and include the early films where he made uncredited or brief appearances, such as 'Revenge of the Creature', 'Francis in the Navy', 'Lady Godiva of Coventry', 'Tarantula', 'The First Traveling Saleslady', 'Ambush at Cimarron Pass' etc

Never the less, it's a great set anyway.

Agreed

I'm not a big fan of his (I don't like westerns), but it does include everything a Clint fan could want

It's a shame they couldn't/haven't made high definition versions of these films available exclusively for the set that would be a massive selling point.

Thunderbolt and Lightfoot has had a blu release from Second Sight so I'm guessing at least with that one its a licensing issue.
