Description
 
This is a region-free DVD-R (set of five) without case or artwork. Note: Unlike other versions of this documentary, this set was transferred from laser disc, resulting in much clearer image and sound compared to the standard VHS transfers available. Because the series is tied up in rights issues that may never be resolved, this represents the best possible quality in which to enjoy it. Image is sharp and distortion-free, unlike VHS copies. Screens available on request.

This 13-episode series comes on five DVD's. Hollywood (also known as Hollywood: A Celebration of the American Silent Film) is a 1980 documentary series produced by Thames Television which explored the establishment and development of the Hollywood studios and its impact on 1920s culture. The series consists of thirteen one hour episodes, with each episode dealing with a specific aspect of Hollywood history. The actor James Mason, an enthusiast of the period, supplied the narration; a lilting score was contributed by Carl Davis. Episodes: (1) The Pioneers; (2) In the Beginning; (3) Single Beds and Double Standards; (4) Hollywood Goes To War; (5) Hazard of the Game; (6) Swanson and Valentino; (7) The Autocrats; (8) Comedy - A Serious Business; (9) Out West; (10) The Man With the Megaphone; (11) Trick of the Light; (12) Star Treatment; (13) End of an Era.

5 of 5 Very easy December 4, 2024
Reviewer: LUIS GRANADA from SAN DIEGO, CA United States  
I've been looking for this documentary for years. I watched it on YT but wanted a physical copy. The process of buying and having the dvds shipped was easy and fast. The price was perfect. The dvds themselves are perfect and no flaws when I played it on my little dvd player. The picture quality was perfect. I have terrible eyesight but no problems watching it. I give it 5 stars out of five!

5 of 5 The best PQ so far! October 15, 2024
Reviewer: Keith Ducklin from Leeds, W Yorks England  
I bought the 'Hollywood' series from this site on the advice of a fellow film buff. These are excellent copies of all thirteen episodes and far better than my previous box set. Good service, too, with a speedy despatch to the UK. Highly recommended seller and product, thanks!
