Great Cinema Classics
I have only watched a couple of the compilation of films thus far, namely "The Lady Vanishes" and "Algiers." I liked "The Lady Vanishes." It's a quirky, somewhat claustrophobic kind of movie, but the balance of elements is quite good, and the film's physical quality is good. I can't say the same for "Algiers." This is a film that needs digital restoration very badly. I can watch Hedy Lamarr in anything, so although "Algiers" has it's flaws (beyond the physical), I still regard it as a must-see classic. The film was made in 1938, so the technical flaws of watching it in 2013 are outweighed by the performances of Hedy Lamarr and Charles Boyer.
