DVD Reviews of The Great Depression - 1930's-40's - 5 Hours of Early Films on DVD

DVD Review: Not Watchable
Summary: 1 Stars

These transfers are not watchable. The image is severely cropped, making it difficult to even guess what they were originally. The sound quality suggests someone held up a cheap microphone to a speaker.

DVD Review: BEWARE of Yumheart!!
Summary: 1 Stars

This seller is a fraud.
He burns DVD's off of originals, tries to sell them as "like new", then gives his own HOMEMADE product a 5 star rating.

Amazon.com should NOT allow this!
