Aspect Ratio?
Rating (5)
Date: 2008-12-25
There is actually a question for those that have already watched these movies. I just got Volume 1 for Christmas and am thinking of buying volumes 2,3,&4. I have a 50" Plasma 16x9 1080P Panasonic TV. I noticed that the aspect ratio on these DVD's is 240:1. Does this mean that it will not fill the screen top to bottom and side to side? How big, or annoying, are the black stripes on the top and bottom?
The optimum aspect ratio for the 16:9 screens is something like 1:78:1. Is this set available in this format?
I have HD service from my internet/TV provider (FIOS) and have become spoiled by being able to watch all the movies they broadcast in HD in a format that takes full advantage of every square ince of my plasma TV.

Welcome to Volume 1 of the Ultimate James Bond DVD collection!
This first one contains five films. One, "Goldfinger", is the best of the franchise. The others... well, they're at least tolerable (though there's a scene with a slide whistle in "The Man with the Golden Gun" that's completely inexcusable).
You can get these movies seperately in single-disc form, or you can do what I did and buy this collection! Not only do you get all the movies in pristine new transfers, along with 5.1 surround, but you also get a second disc for each movie loaded with more extras than you can imagine. Behind-the-scenes stuff, rare outtakes, radio ads, trailers (check out some of the black and white TV trailers for "Goldfinger"!). It's pretty comprehensive for each movie.
As for the films themselves, well... like I said, one of the five is excellent. I wouldn't buy this set for the others in it, but they are worth having if you're a completist. "Goldfinger" is wonderful. "Diamonds are Forever", "The Living Daylights" and "The World is Not Enough" are reasonably entertaining. "The Man With the Golden Gun" is saved from a world of total suck by having Christopher Lee as the bad guy and also has some pretty impessive sets. Not really worth watching otherwise.
The selection of movies gets this set three stars. The extras boost it up to five. A nice average of four stars is what we end up with. Definately worth owning!

This purchase completed my collection of the newly released James Bond DVDs. They're all beautifully done (some restoration involved) with fun extras and info. If you're a Bond fan, these are highly recommended (and it's less expensive to buy them in the sets than to buy them separately).James Bond Ultimate Edition - Vol. 3 (GoldenEye / Live and Let Die / For Your Eyes Only / From Russia With Love / On Her Majesty's Secret Service)James Bond Ultimate Edition - Vol. 4 (Dr. No / You Only Live Twice / Octopussy / Tomorrow Never Dies / Moonraker)James Bond Ultimate Edition - Vol. 2 (A View to a Kill / Thunderball / Die Another Day / The Spy Who Loved Me / Licence to Kill)

Nice Selection of Bonds
Rating (5)
Date: 2008-07-12
This set is a nice smattering of Bond films I would have picked up individually otherwise, including the one I needed to replace because our VHS tape of it had developed terrible tracking problems on the top of the screen. So, voila! this set made an ideal Father's Day gift for my hubby and gives us other Bonds we do not own. Amazon's 2 day shipping was perfect. Good quality on the films, too.

Description
Darryl F. Zanuck's production about a playboy who joins the Marines and discovers selfless valor. John Payne and Maureen O'Hara star.

Amazon.com
If it weren't so clearly a product of the precise moment when the U.S. had just suffered the Japanese sneak attacks of December 1941, To the Shores of Tripoli might easily be mistaken for the definitive parody of World War II Hollywood jingoism by a latter-day satirical troupe--say, the SCTV gang. Smartass child of privilege John Payne is sent to Marine boot camp to learn about responsibility and being a team player. Although shot on location at San Diego, the sunny Technicolor training exercises look more like a musical-comedy summer stock company working out. Drillmaster Randolph Scott and fiery-haired nurse Maureen O'Hara love Payne in spite of his myriad obnoxious qualities, and he does have the right stuff, as he demonstrates at the drop of a hat--and the rest of his civilian clothes--the minute he hears about Pearl Harbor over the radio. The finale, a troopship embarkation turned full-scale production number, has to be seen to be disbelieved. --Richard T. Jameson

Hokey - yes, but I like it.
Rating (4)
Date: 2008-07-17
Okay, Okay - by modern standards, this film is very hokey. A real flag-waver that gets cheesier as it progresses. But I love the on-screen combination and chemistry of Maureen O'Hara and John Payne. Their first of 4 films together, this movie was actually being film when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor in December 1941. The script and ending were quickly changed to reflect the headlines and the sentiment of the day. The film was rushed in to theaters within a few months of completion and became a big poster for enlistment.
Most modern audiences know Payne and O'Hara from the Christmas classic, "Miracle on 34th Street", which is their third pairing. Their second ("Sentimental Journey" ) and forth ("Tripoli", a Paramount release) are not available on either VHS or DVD - what a shame.

It Doesn't Do What It Says On The Tin.
Rating  (3)
Date: 2008-07-09
GREAT! A war film starring Randolph Scott and John Payne - well, er, no, actually. If they made this movie today it would probably be described as a romantic comedy, and the only fighting is between the Marines themselves and between John Payne and Maureen O'Hara. In fact, the film ends at the point where America enters the War, and the errant John Payne rejoins his unit.
If you like Rom-Coms then this is a very enjoyable little piece, but personally, as a kid growing up watching old movies on tv, I grew tired of movie titles that suggested one thing but gave another. "Tell It To The Marines" would probably have been more appropriate (is there such a movie?).
At least my copy is in glorious Technicolour.

I Wanted and Paid for TECHNICOLOR --- [surprise]....I got Black & White instead!!
Rating  (1)
Date: 2007-03-21
What a huge disappointment from 20th Century-Fox studios...I saw this movie since 1942...hundreds of times in vivid, vibrant and primary TECHNICOLOR...I loved it; hell, I even joined the US Marines...the dust/jacket claims the DVD is in Technicolor in three [3] different places..."FLASH"...it's in Black & White, my man...all of the reviews [below] depict the screen/play one way or the other [to each his/her own]...I was hoping with anticipated joy to see this DVD in glorious TECHNICOLOR...what a low/letdown by 20th Century-Fox Public Relations Dept...anything for a buck in this generation!!...alas; one vivid scene that hallmarks this movie is the dress blues graduation day, it seems the USMC , by design, compiled a slew of silver tubers assembled with an abundance of other field music Marines to give out with the martial strains of the, "Marines Hymn"...you will never hear a huge Marine Band of this size ever sound-off like this ever again...it is a unique rendition and sound [non pareil]...you are in for a singular treat...dress blues on parade with the big Marine field music ensemble...as for the picture, I loved it and this Marine Corps movie in 1942 stand alone for the reason why so many joined up resulting in a huge/record surge of volunteer enlistments into the Corps to war vs Japan... my joy would have been 10 fold if I received the Technicolor DVD as black and white doesn't measure up at all.

I just bought the DVD of this title and mine is in breathtaking Technicolor. Was this a problem that was corrected or did the other reviewers have the color turned off on their TV sets?

To the Shores of Tripoli
Rating (4)
Date: 2005-10-08
7 out of 7 customers found this reveiw helpful
Shortly before the United States' entry into World War II carefree wiseacre playboy Chris Winters (John Payne) joins the Marine Corps and journeys to a training camp in San Diego. While there he falls under the spell of nurse 2nd Lieutenant Mary Carter (Maureen O'Hara) and under the thumb of nail-tough drill sergeant Dixie Smith (Randolph Scott.) Before long the feckless young Winters is counting the days until his rich fiancée Helene Hunt (Nancy Kelly) can pull the strings that will get him out of the Corps.
TO THE SHORES OF TRIPOLI (1942) was released in March of that year, and filming of the movie began before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Even though it incorporates some `At War' features - dedicating the movie especially to the Marines on Wake Island, for instance - this is a relatively blithe look at a nation preparing for war. Beyond marching and then more marching (this is the marchingest movie you'll ever see) boot camp seems a breeze. Even Scott's tough drill sergeant is a pussycat compared to most later examples of the type. Although the leatherneck vows he'll either break down or drive out the `worthless pup' Payne, Payne is the `Skipper's son,' and Payne's decision to tent with and tutor the unit's Gomer Pyle shows us there's something redeemable beneath the glib and polished exterior. O'Hara, as usual strong and beautiful as the navy nurse, pairs up well with Payne (their chemistry together would product the classic `Miracle on 34th Street' five years later.) With a tidy love story wrapped up in an early recruitment movie, TO THE SHORES OF TRIPOLI is solid entertainment. If it's a little light, it probably served it purpose of demystifying, a bit, the boot camp experience.
Edward Cronjager and William Skall were nominated for Academy Awards for Best Color Cinematography. For some mysterious reason Fox has released this as a black-and-white movie. No decent Technicolor prints available? It's a double shame, because the red-haired O'Hara was known as `The Queen of Technicolor.'
