    great collection, disappointing that North by Northwest and Strangers on a Train aren't in the collection but great price for what is included.

    They were made by a different studio, and a re available on a different blu ray set.

    Off the top of my head, it's also missing Rebecca, The Lady Vanishes, Mr. & Mrs. Smith and Dial M For Murder but any omissions are very likely due to licensing issues - they weren't all produced/released by the same studios.

    ooh the lady vanishes, another great. The Cybil Shepard/Elliot Gould 70s remake is also pretty watchable.

    As its only the Paramount/Universal films (Universal owns all of the pre 1948 Paramount catalogue) it is missing some key titles originally released by Warner Bros, MGM, Gaumont British, 20th Century Fox and RKO.

    The most notable of the missing films are -

    The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934)
    The 39 Steps (1935)
    Rebecca (1940)
    Lifeboat (1944)
    Spellbound (1945)
    Notorious (1946)
    Strangers on a Train (1951)
    Dial M for Murder (1954)
    North by Northwest (1959)

    Exaxtly what I was thinking. how coukd they keave out North by Northwest?

    I got this set for £48 from Amazon a couple of years ago. Considered it a bargain then, still consider it that now. So this is a steal. Really lovely book design. Vertigo is my shout for best Hitchcock, but there are a number of true masterpieces here.

    There's another set that contains Dial M for Murder, North By Northwest and Strangers on a Train (no overlaps) which has gone as low as £11.25 on Amazon and is £15 rn.

    They must have changed their ways then. I haven't used them in years due to box sets being smashed on arrival! Single disc cases have been fine.
