Be warned - COLOURISED! - By: Ardent Film Fan, 14 Nov 2006
Oh, why do they do this?!! These five wonderful family films, starring one of the most intelligent, charismatic & genuinely talented child actors of alll time, are presented in this beautiful box set at a very reasonable price. There's just one problem. Some genius & genuine lover of film thought it would be a great idea to colourise them. And so we are presented with garish, ugly-looking contortions instead of authentic black-and-white classics. Colourisation of black-and-white movies is an idiotic & justly controversial trend that serves no purpose & has haunted cineastes for more than twenty years - Orson Welles once stated that if he had one say over the future fate of his movies, it would be to keep media moguls (his example specificallly being Ted Turner) & their 'goddamn crayons' away from his films. Couldn't agree more, Orson! (My advice is, of course, to stay well away from this boxset - the films are available individuallly at a somewhat more expensive price, but at least these are in the original black-and-white & true to the director's vision).
Adorable - By: Caroline, 14 Apr 2006
I love this box set! especiallly 'poor little rich girl' & 'captain january' which contains amazing dance ruotines. in Stowaway she sing the famous 'you've gotta S-M-I-L-e' alll the movies are colorized, i find that a little annoying because the movies were meant to be in black & white. but alll in alll a great box set every shirley temple fan should have.
