0 stars for the packaging - this set needs to be recalled at the earliest
you've got to be kidding me, Fox and MGM. ten discs snugly tucked into cardboard sleeves with each pull of the disc from its slot resulting in scuffing that just can't be helped. Every disc - yes, every disc in the packaging I received had semi-concentric scuff patterns on the playing side of the disc that makes it seem like these discs have been thru a billion Blockbuster rentals. to add insult to injury, 'The Hunters' is a two sides play disc (1 FS and 1 WS) so, both sides are scuffed terribly because of virtually no protection to the disc. Shame on you, Fox and MGM for dropping the ball on QC...in this era of mass manufacturing, this packaging is an insult to media. Please do not buy this on any count. Even if the discs are brand new, it takes just 3 or 4 pulling the disc and putting back into its slot, to render it chockful of scuffs and minor scratches.

Great Mitchum Collection
This is a great Mitchum collection of some of his best with Fox and MGM. As noted in past Fox box-sets there design is not the best and sometimes the packaging gets torn and the disks may or will have scratches, but I have bought seven of their collection and I have not problem with them. This collection has two sleeves with six films on Vol 1 and four on Vol 2. Volume 1 has films from the 50s and Volume 2 has films from 60s.
