2/5 Rating - The Grapes of Wrath - I believe this won several awards but I did not really like it. It had a few interesting scenes but most of the movie was boring and I had to 120X FF to get through it quickly. It's a classic so you might like it.

Great Movies, Cheap Packaging...
Brian Lowe | San Francisco | 12/10/2007
(3 out of 5 stars)

"I expected more with the release of this boxed set. In this boxed set the discs come in cheap thin cases. The box in which they are housed is thin, lightweight cardboard. My Darling Clementine has two discs (one of which is two-sided) and when the thin case is compressed, the discs can rub against each other.
Not a lot of care seems to have gone into the quality of the presentation of this set. Alan Dwan's 1939 film Frontier Marshall (which, like Clementine , is based on Stuart Lake's Wyatt Earp book) is included as a special feature with My Darling Clementine. However, on the back of the box containing the disc, it shows a picture of a movie poster of ANOTHER, earlier version of Frontier Marshall (from 1934), not the version included as the extra. This seems to be a good example of the lack of attention to detail taken with this set.
The documentary included, "Becoming John Ford", was also a disappointment. It is really only a documentary about Ford's time at Fox (and Universal before it). It is not the comprehensive documentary I had hoped for. It mentions (only in passing) Stagecoach and never, to my memory, mentions The Searchers. In fact, any western after My Darling Clementine (1946) is ignored. The documentary consists mainly of talking heads filmed from arty angles and frequently blathering while not looking directly at the camera. Pretentious in look and content.
Great movies deserved better."
A collection of John Ford's best known classics while at Fox

"This is one of three boxed sets coming out in addition to the giant "Ford at Fox" set, and it contains four of John Ford's best known and most successful films that he directed while at Fox in addition to the documentary that was especially made for "Ford at Fox". Included are:

Drums Along The Mohawk (1939) (already on DVD) - stars Henry Fonda and Claudette Colbert as Gilbert and Lana Martin, newlyweds trying to make a go of a homestead in upstate New York during the American revolution. They battle the elements as well as the Indians in their attempt to build a life together.

FORD AT FOX A VALUABLE CONTRIBUTION TO FILM "LITERATURE"
Lowell S. Harris | Tampa, FL USA | 02/08/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Congratulate Fox on separating their enormous full collection of Ford's work at the studio with three smaller but potent boxes: The Classics, The Silents, and The Comedies. Although these classics have already been issued, the addition of 1939's "Frontier Marshall," which was the precursor to "My Darling Clementine," in a beautifully remastered version, and the documentary "Becoming John Ford" are worth the price of the whole set (I bought it at Amazon for $24.99!). In fact, the Ford documentary also includes "The Battle of Midway" with additional footage, "December 7th," and the much-neglected "Torpedo Squadron" (1942). Commentary has also been added to "Drums Along The Mohawk."

All these films represent "must have" classics for your collection. The packaging is compact and colorful.
