Warner Gangsters Collection, Vol. 2 (Bullets or Ballots / City for Conquest / Each Dawn I Die / G Men / San Quentin / A Slight Case of Murder)

It is hard to write a review on classics and there are 60 other reviews related to that and the packaging so I offer something else.I am slowly but surely moving all that I can to an online collection (legal) that is. Many people have a few movies in the cloud that they have entered via an Ultraviolet Code. These codes then allow you add certain movies when you buy them new, and then access them on nearly any device to stream or better yet to download to things like IPads and Cellphones or onto laptops while traveling or you can even use the Vudu application and stream ultra-high quality movies from your library on your HDTV either directly or through a Roku or many Bluray players. It is pretty difficult to find anything produced more than four or five years ago with Ultraviolet codes so for many of us movie buffs it might seem that using these types of applications are not good options. And, no I am not discussing stealing via torrent or other methods.But you can actually buy or use you older movies and in many cases they are approved for a disc-to-digital conversion with Vudu. You don't need to convert the movie, you simply put the disc into the computer and pull up the application (free) and once it registers that you actually have physical possession of the movie it will let you convert it into a cloud copy just like Ultraviolet, for much cheaper than buying a copy from them. If you are converting 10 movies you can upgrade DVDs to the highest quality (HDX) for $2.50 each. If you just want the exact same as what you had (DVD quality) it is a dollar (if you convert 10). The catch is a lot of movies don't qualify or are not eligible for this conversion. Out of this set I converted the following:1. Bullets for Ballots (converted to HDX)2. City for Conquest (converted to HDX)3. San Quentin (converted to HDX)4. A Slight Case of Murder (converted to DVD quality)The final two: Each Dawn I Die and GMen were not recognized so they could not be converted. There is an option to take to Wal-Mart and they will convert for you, but that price is doubled so they would be either $2.00 each for DVD conversions for $5.00 each for HDX conversions which is getting pretty pricy for these older movies. As for the first four, I was able to add them to my online library for $8.50 total. I know many may bristle at what they see as paying twice for the same movies, but for me, three of these are not even available in Bluray anyway so you are getting better than the physical copy and you have access anywhere which makes it a no brainer for me. But it depends on how often you watch older movies and if the convenience is worth it. My plan after I convert, is usually to make my digital copies and then I take my originals to donations. You can either get a tax write off or if you just want to make someone's day take it a retirement home and see some eyes light up at the thought of Jimmy Cagney and Edward G. Robinson.

Great acting,directing,plots they don't make them like this anymore.

I remember watching the black & white Cagney movies when I was a young boy. Still enjoy watching them. Very happy with purchase.

Warner Bros made a wise decision when they released this 2nd collection of Gangster Films. Unless your only contact is with familiar pictures like THE PETRIFIED FOREST, LITTLE CAESAR, and WHITE HEAT...you're in for a treat.All the big stars are here: Bogart & Robinson ("Bullets or Ballots), Cagney & Raft ("Each Dawn I Die"), and at least one (Cagney, Robinson or Bogart) in the other 4. Depicted in these, life in or out prison has its difficulties. But the stars make the stories work.Each DVD contains supplemental material connected with the film title including a related documentary and the always popular WARNER NIGHT AT THE MOVIES. It's amazing how close some of the cartoons come to the features themselves. I'm thinking of "Porky's Double Trouble" which is included on the San Quentin DVD.But the credit goes to the directors who knew how to get a film made in just a few weeks. Grab this set while it's still around. You won't be disappointed.

I have all four sets in this series; they are all great. These guys made some of the best gangster movies ever made. This set contains 6 well-packaged DVDs containing a restored movie ( Bullets of Ballots, City For Conquest, Each Dawn I Die, G-Men, San Quentin, and A Slight Case of Murder) and a bunch of extras: Appropriate year Newsreels, Cartoons, Warner Night At The Movies, Previews of other movies, interviews with cast/crew and critics. There's a lot here, for not a lot of money...Great Bargain! Get ready with the popcorn.

Defective and incomplete because one dvd was blank.

The black and white movies are still the best and the Gangsters Collection 2 brings it back in the second volume To see some of the best actors in their best roles is great. James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, and Edward G. Robinson. The collection shows how in the 30's the gangsters not only as criminals but also humans with human feelings. Some of these movies I never seen before and was surprised by their quality.The Gangster Collection is a must for anyone who likes the silver screen classics!!!
