DVD Reviews of The Original Nancy Drew Movie Mystery Collection (Detective / Reporter / Troubleshooter / Hidden Staircase)
DVD Review: VERY GOOD DISC!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This Roan disc has a very good print of the Kennel Murder Case and I heartily recommend it. Nancy Drew, Reporter is slightly less so. The film looks much better in the new Nancy Drew Collection, which is just an outstanding collection of the Drew series. DVD Review: Forgotten collection of films but still good.
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this set for my mother and was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed them too, never being a Nancy Drew fan. The picture quality is poor on a large screen tv, grainy and washed out but not terrible and hardly noticable on a 27" LCD. I crack up every time Ted gets beat up over Nancy's schemes.DVD Review: PERFECT DREW COLLECTION!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is fantastic. I never thought I would see a release of the classic Nancy Drew films. All four films in one set and they look great. This is absolutely one of the most entertaining series Warner Bros. produced. Hopefully, Warners will release some of the other series under their control. There are plenty of them from Warners, RKO, and Metro.DVD Review: Nancy Sleiths on film
Summary: 5 Stars
These Criterion selections from the '30s are simply enjoyment, light, replete with values of late depression/pre war enthusiasm of America in flux. It is not the book (which I grew up as a 2nd generation on the books from the attic) yet still cozy with enough action to keep one involved. The Amazon price made this purchase a no brainer. The quality of sound and video is superior and they make a good change from a CSI adventure. Where have we come to in this short time.

Summary: 5 Stars
William Powell is Philo Vance trying to solve the murder of Archer Coe. This is a step way above the rest from this era. The atmosphere, the acting my Powell and his cast including Mary Astor,Ralph Morgan. William Powell has a great screen presence as a detective, he is just a tremendous actor. How he solves the murder and how he was killed was pure genius as far as the story unfolds. This is a great movie and I have this DVD because of it. The Nancy Drew co-feature is just terrible. It is juvenile, unfunny, just not for me. I am getting the Kennel Murder Case from Marengo films as it has a much better co-feature in British Intelligence and the transfers are as good as The Roan Group. I personally like double features where I can at least watch the other feature :)
I would get this if you want a superior transfer of Kennel Murder Case and can sit through Nancy Drew.
Avoid the Alpha Kennel Murder Case, it is a terrible grainy transfer.
Description of The Original Nancy Drew Movie Mystery Collection (Detective / Reporter / Troubleshooter / Hidden Staircase)

These four classic, 1938 black-and-white Nancy Drew hour-long films directed by William Clemens (not the 2007 movie starring Emma Roberts) feature Bonita Granville as Nancy Drew, John Litel as Carson Drew, and Frankie Thomas as Ted Nickerson. Based on the character from the book series first published in 1930, the headstrong teenager Nancy Drew has a knack for winding up right in the middle of a mystery, and neither her father nor friend Ted can talk Nancy into doing what they consider the sensible thing: letting the police handle the detective work. With a curious mix of early feminism and cultural chauvinism, a dichotomy representative of late-1930s society, Nancy investigates each mystery with fervor, usually dragging her friend Ted into the thick of the investigation and demonstrating a complete disregard for her personal safety or the safety of her friends and family in her determination to track down the perpetrator. Sharp-witted and quick to pick up on the smallest, seemingly insignificant details, Nancy often succeeds where the local Police Captain Tweedy (Frank Orth) fails. Nancy Drew, Detective presents the story of an elderly benefactress unscrupulously detained at a sanatorium, while Reporter and Trouble Shooter are murder mysteries, and Hidden Staircase deals with a combined murder and attempt to dupe two elderly women. While somewhat ponderously paced by modern standards, these original Nancy Drew adventures are quality suspense mysteries that deserve their classic designation. (Ages 10 and older) --Tami Horiuchi
