Beautiful collection
5 out of 5 stars
Beautiful collection
I was reluctant to order this given all the negative feedback about packaging and scratched discs. I'm glad I have it a shot. The packaging is absolutely beautiful. The hardcover "booklet" is large and very well-done, and the discs are easy to remove from their slots. You would have to be pretty careless to scratch them when removing and replacing. I added a pic to give you an idea of the packaging. My discs were in perfect condition.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Kazan's more celebrated showcases
    Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2016

    Not many movies out there are about the TVA. But this one is, and it's both entertaining and educational. The Tennessee Valley Authority was part of the Depression Era New Deal. It both put unemployed men to work and built a system of dam driven turbines that furnished electricity to much of the South. The trouble is that it required taking over the land affected by the new waterways and moving off the owners. Despite offering compensation to the owners, many didn't want to leave. Here, old lady Garth (Van Fleet) refuses to leave and by golly no one's going to make her, including government man Glover (Clift). How he eases her off the land without using force forms the crux of the plot.

    Filming in Tennessee in Technicolor is a real asset, lending both eye appeal and authenticity. I also like the way the movie deals with social issues of the time. Blacks as well as Whites are hired onto the same TVA work teams and paid the same wages. That upsets both local segregation laws and the local economy since Blacks are customarily paid a fraction of what Whites get. Naturally many Blacks leave their former jobs to hire on with the better paying government work force. This angers many local Whites who then try to disrupt the project. Thus, federal man Glover has a lot to contend with, especially since he's also romancing old lady Garth's unhappy granddaughter, Carol (Remick).

    Van Fleet's excellent as the hard-bitten matriarch, and so is Salmi as one of the local thugs. Surprisingly, Remick's usual sexy appearance is downplayed in favor of a more emotive role. But to me, the real surprise is Clift. He's mostly expressionless throughout the 100-minutes. I suspect that's because of the auto accident that so damaged his face several years earlier. But, whatever the reason, he's not nearly as effective as we know he could be from earlier films.

    This may not be one of director Kazan's more celebrated showcases, but it is both an intriguing drama and a revealing look at an important slice of American history.

    5.0 out of 5 stars SUPERB COLLECTION OF KAZAN FILMS
    Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2016

    Don't understand what all the fuss is about regarding the packaging of this fantastic set of Elia Kazan movies. I cannot fault the set I received: all 18 discs placed securely and undamaged in the allotted pockets of this tasteful book type presentation.
    Aside from the packaging, it is the quality of the films that are paramount here and for any serious film buff or lover of great movies, this collection is a must have.
    Many may already have some of these films in their library (especially the classics: "A Streetcar Named Desire", "East of Eden", "On the Waterfront", "America America") which have been released many times previously. The beauty here is, the other 11 films and the Martin Scorsese documentary "A Letter to Elia" which have been included to this very handsome and economical package of 16 films. Priceless Kazan works including less famous titles such as his debut film "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn", the Oscar winner "Gentleman's Agreement", generally underrated gems "Panic in the Streets", "Viva Zapata!", "Baby Doll" and "Wild River" to the rarely seen "Boomerang!", "Man on a Tightrope" and "A Face in the Crowd". Not a bad film here (6 get the **** Leonard Maltin rating), and whatever we may think of Kazan's dubious actions during the blacklist, one cannot deny the power and quality of his films and his standing as one of the greatest of American film directors.
    An extra bonus (apart from all the extras on the discs, especially the double discs of "Streetcar" and "Eden") is the beautiful hard cover book that is included in the boxed set stored in a sturdy slipcase. Full of stills, on set photographs featuring Kazan in action and insightful notes on each film which superbly compliments this collection.

    5.0 out of 5 stars VERY happily surprised!!!!

    I have been looking at this collection on amazon for quite sometime. Even though the price for this collection is great I was very reluctant to order it due to so many negative reviews on here regarding the packaging. After several months amazon offered it for $20.99 so I decided to tempt fate and order it. I figured if not happy with it then I would just return it. I just received it in the mail today and I nervously opened it to find 15 gems of movies inside! All are in pristine condition! Yes it's true that a couple fit a little snug in their holders but if you simply raise the lid right above the title of each movie with your finger and put another finger in the hole of the disc it slides right out. My only suggestion is that maybe some soft felt could have been used on the side of the movie for safer keeping and more protection for them when removing or putting them back in. But with little card during each process I think they will be fine. I am very happy with this purchase, the box, book, and movie holder case are beautiful! No way will I return it or ever get rid of this collection! Last thing I can say based on other reviews is either I just got lucky with this item or perhaps you can't believe everything you read on here as far as reviews go? I say take a chance and order this collection if you love movies, especially Elia Kazan movies. I'm glad I did!
