Summary: Bogie
Comment: The movies are exactly as described. Not sure if it was worth the price I paid though. I was hoping that there was a feature on the dvds to allow it to be either black and white or color , but there wasn't. Only in black and white. I saw them in color on tcm once, I thought it was great. Not sure where to find them though. The treasure of the sierra madre is one of my all time favorites. The main reason I bought the set.

Summary: Great Box Set
Comment: The best about Warner box sets is that each movie comes in its own individual case rather then clumsy custom cases which hold multiple DVDs. This is equivalent to buying each title separately but with a discounted price. This is one box set which contains 4 great movies. Keep the good work Warner Bros!

Summary: GREAT COLLECTION...GREAT PRICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Comment: The talent and superb acting in these great films is so far above the films of today. Without computerized special effects the actors and writers had to truly perform and these movies are some of the best of classic Holywood. I strongly recommend this product; it should be shown to younger generations so that they can see what real talent is.

Summary: "Bogart is still the best"
Comment: I recently purchased Humphrey Bogart - The Signature Collection, Vol. 1 (Casablanca Two-Disc Special Edition / The Treasure of the Sierra Madre Two-Disc Special Edition / They Drive by Night / High Sierra)Humphrey Bogart - The Signature Collection, Vol. 2 (The Maltese Falcon Three-Disc Special Edition / Across the Pacific / Action in the North Atlantic / All Through the Night / Passage to Marseille) and the Bogart and Bacall Signature CollectionBogie and Bacall - The Signature Collection (The Big Sleep / Dark Passage / Key Largo / To Have and Have Not). I have a DVD collection of well over 1000 films. I can honestly state that these DVDs are not "among" the best I have. They Are The Best!!! Evey single one of these films are genuine classics. I feel that Humphrey Bogart is the best actor "ever" in American film. If he was cast in a film that didn't have a really strong cast around him he would simply carry the production on his strong shoulders. He would become whatever character he was supposed to be. Also, I must commend Warner Bros. DVD( or whoever did it) on the remastering of all the films in the collections. They did what is simply the best job of remastering a film that has has ever been performed. And the bonus features! Thay are all just wonderful. I can't give any more platitudes without repeating myself. If you are any kind of a Bogie fan, you must get these collections. You will not regret it for one second. Not one! Do yourself a favor and purchase all of them. They are the "Best!" Papa Larry H.

Summary: great idea but bad packaging
Comment: This review isn't knocking any of the titles, all of these are definitely Bogie's signature roles and all of them should be in your collection, as some of the greatest films ever made. But why only 3 stars, you ask? This set has an unusual history. It actually was only announced after Warner Home Video had already announced the Humphrey Bogart Signature Collection Vol. 2 and suddenly realized they had never made a volume 1 (somebody probably thought the old Humphrey Bogart Collection with the single discs was the first volume). This was easy to fix, as WHV had these already-released films readily available to combine into what could have been an essential box set. Unfortunately, this release came out at a transitional period for them. Warner's new trend for box sets were slim cases (normally, a welcome solution to conserving shelf space), however the 2-disc version of Casablanca and Treasure of the Sierra Madre were already packaged in ways that normally wouldn't be accommodated in a box set. Instead of putting these into slim cases as well, they were boxed as is, and as a result the box is a little warped (a similar problem that occurred with the John Wayne-John Ford Collection).
My advice: You must own these movies and watch them repeatedly, but you may be better off buying them all individually if you're obsessive like I am about your product arriving and staying in good condition.
