The Robert Benchley shorts are always so much, fun the classic cartoons are a welcomed addition as well. but I think to include an episode of the Thin Man TV series starring Peter Lawford is simply amazing.
For me like many physical media fans, space is premium and as much as I love the individual Blu-ray releases. This collection is so much better as all six films are collected in a case that is about the size of one of the Thin Man Blu-rays. And plus, these are the exact discs, so you are not losing any features, just saving a ton of space.
So if you love those classic Hollywood mysteries, this Blu-ray of The Thin Man Collection is a must own for your Blu-ray collection. Head over to Moviezyng or Amazon and order your copy today. You won't be disappointed.
