This arrived today at my home in the U.K. and I gave it a quick run through. As expected all films play in English (or German of course), just two display only the German film name onscreen at the start, the other seven display the original film title in English. Most films are in colour, two are black and white. No doubt some people with better equipment and younger eyes/ears than me will quibble but I was thrilled at the quality. Another fantastic set in this series, I recommend them all. The audience must be small so dare I hope for a fourth volume next year - yes please!

The reviews on here are very generous. Volumes 1 and 2 were indeed high quality, but much of this collection is barely above VHS quality. The exception is the superb Lonely are the brave, but the other eight transfers are really just fillers - dubious B movies in pretty poor prints. Comanche territory looks good, but is a quite awful film with surely the worst performance of Maureen O’Hara’s career!
