Hollywood Who's Who is here here

"BOX OFFICE GOLD 50 Movie Pack offers over 80 hours worth of lesser known films featuring several dozen renowned actors-- some in starring roles, others in support and a few in early career bit parts. A good portion of this box set are now-forgotten TV films. Many titles are European-made but feature American or British stars.

Among the many curios here are:
Elizabeth Taylor and Andy Warhol in "The Driver's Seat."
Lee Marvin co-starring in a "kiddie" film ("The Missouri Traveler").
The cartoon voice of Fred Flintstone (Alan Reed) appears as a professor in "The Seniors." Includes a young Dennis Quaid.
Minta Durfee (Fatty Arbuckle's ex-wife and silent comedy co-star) has one last cameo in "The Steagle."
Several Nashville stars in support of Tom Selleck as "The Concrete Cowboy."
A very young Tommy Lee Jones in the Canadian-made "Emily's Horoscope."
Check below for who appears in "Mooch Goes to Hollywood." 'Nuff said!

Although no sign of film restoration is apparent, transfer quality of MCE's public domain movies is uniformly good. Their dual-side recorded discs usually contain two titles per side and are housed in gloss-coated heavy paper sleeves. Easy access storage boxes are sturdy and remarkably compact.


HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS 50 Movie Pack (also from MCE) would be a good supplement to this collection.

Best video transfer of any Mill Creek set by far

Matt Sweeney | staten island, ny | 04/16/2008

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I was a little hesitant to order this title because my experience with Mill Creek color transfers of movies from the 70's and 80's has been spotty. What a pleasant surprise. I quickly scanned the movies and I was on disk 8 before I found anything that wasn't good or great quality, and even so, the movies are still watchable. Don't know about the quality of the actual movies, but if you've been burned by bad transfers before, you won't be disappointed by this set. One more thing--unlike the other Mill Creek sets that have 12 double-sided dvds, this has 13 disks with the movies on 1 side."

Great value for the price -- List of movies
