Notes:

1. I wasn't sure of the best way to lay out the details for a box set. I have repeated some sections common to all (Country, Region, Releasing Studio, Case Type), and provided the Extras for each disc as a whole, rather than for each movie separately. Other sections common to all (Notes, Easter Eggs, ASIN, Source) I have only included once, at the end.

2. Director credits are all "Doris Wishman" except for "Hideout in the Sun" which is "Larry Wolk, Doris Wishman".

3. All movies are AR 1.37:1 except "Hideout in the Sun" which is 1.33:1 (presumably due to the transfer coming from a 16mm print).

4. Regarding the "Notes" section, I have assumed that the transfers are 2K. Neither the case nor the Vinegar Syndrome website mention whether they are 2K, but I did read a review that said they were. To my eyes they look like they are at least 2K, and I think if they were higher (e.g. 4K) they would probably have mentioned that as a selling point. Also, the other 2 box sets in this series have 2K transfers.

I've stated that the English language films have English HoH subtitles, rather than just standard English subtitles, as the Vinegar Syndrome site lists them as English SDH (HoH), unless you can tell me otherwise.

Thanks!

[Darrel_Griffin]

Thanks James.

Yes, well spotted re: the subtitles. I have just checked all the discs, and I can confirm that all the movies are English HoH, with the exception of "The Prince and the Nature Girl", which has a German soundtrack and regular English subtitles - you have already entered this correctly, so no changes required.

All other details appear to be perfect too!
