Our first look at this NTSC DVD collection surprises us with a range of good 16mm to excellent 35mm source prints for the silent era films.

For our comparative reviews of the individual films in this collection, see our Charleston Parade on home video, Nana on home video and Whirlpool of Fate on home video pages.

We recommend this inexpensive three-disc Jean Renoir set for its very-good to excellent prints that are all of better quality than previous editions on budget VHS videotape.
