Also of great quality is the early film box called 'Alfred Hitchcock Box Set'(of course there are 52 available of his 53 total feature films to collect - but, you'd have 36 of them in great quality)There are also many, many other box sets out there for sale cheap that have his early films in public domain crappy 16mm prints. Avoid these if you can afford to-they suck! Most collectors probably already have the grossly expensive but quality Criterion releases of Rebecca, Notorious and Spellbound. These have been OOP for years and are still available if you want to spend the cash. Rebecca alone usually cost more than this whole set. The other titles have been around on DVD's in various qualities, some much better than others. I usually would not be reviewing something I have yet to see to compare the quality. However, I feel safe in guessing that since this is a major studio release and judging by the bonus features and length of time it took to get this set out, it should be the definitive source for U.S. customers. I will update this review once I have looked at the films to compare picture and sound quality.
