I am still enjoying this series and have now watched all but the last disk.
Disk two: Rich and Strange, The Thirty-Nine Steps, Secret Agent, Champagne and Blackmail. Disk three: Easy Virtue, Jamaica Inn, The Lodger, The Ring, Young and Innocent
All these movies are watchable though a few had some "noise"; flecks and scratches which I guess could not be avoided.
About half these movies are silent. It takes longer to convey an idea with no sound I notice and I found my mind wander off now and then. Sometimes the music and exaggerated facial expressions such as eye popping and eyebrow raising seem contrary to the actual mood. Interesting, for the movies are actually filled with intrigue, betrayal and real suspense.
I especially enjoyed Jamaica Inn with Maureen O'Hara. It is a thriller that deals with a criminal element whose modern counterpart can easily be imagined. How did the cops survive before cell phones and radios! They were pretty much on their own and so very vulnerable with no way to call for back-up!
On the last disk: Juno and the Paycock, Sabotage, The Skin Game, Number Seventeen, The Man Who Knew Too Much
