United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: LANGUAGES: English ( Mono ), SPECIAL FEATURES: Black & White, Box Set, Interactive Menu, Multi-DVD Set, Scene Access, SYNOPSIS: The Ship That Died Of Shame (1955): Ship 1087 and her crew are proud to make a sterling contribution to the coastal defences during the war, but post-war austerity brings lean years for all. Illicit cross-channel smuggling seems like an attractive and lucrative prospect. But from the apparently harmless ferrying of duty-free wine the crew gradually descend into altogether deeper waters, culminating in the carriage of a mysterious fugitive who turns out to be a convicted child-killer. Brighton Rock (1947): The elegant and respectable facade of Brighton hides a sinister underworld, ruled by intimidation and terror. Richard Attenborough stars as Pinkie, a ruthless and sadistic young criminal whose trail of killings and double crossings lead to his eventual downfall when savage justice is finally meted out in a thrilling and memorable climax. Dunkirk (1958): An easygoing British Corporal (John Mills) in France finds himself responsible for the lives of his men when their officer is killed. He has to get them back to Britain somehow. Meanwhile, British civilians are being dragged into the war with Operation Dynamo, the scheme to get the French and British forces back from the Dunkirk beaches. Some come forward to help, others are less willing. The Man Upstairs (1958):The mental breakdown of a guilt-ridden man provides the drama in this fascinating psychological profile that stars Richard Attenborough as a scientist who can't live with himself after he accidentally kills the brother of h...Richard Attenborough Collection - 7-DVD Box Set ( Brighton Rock / The Ship That Died of Shame / Private's Progress / Brothers in Law / Dunkirk / The Man Upstairs / The Angry Silence ) ( Young Scarface / PT Raiders / Privates Progress )

5.0 out of 5 stars Icon of British Movies 13 Mar 2012
Format:DVD
I am a really keen fan of British Movies from the 40's,50's and 60's as they beat most movies from across the pond that deal with similar stories. As for Richard Attenborough he had such a range of characters that he seemed to pull out of the bag as can be seen from this Icon's Collection my favourites being Brighton Rock (not the remake which is ok),Dunkirk,Angry Silence,Privates Progress and my favourite The Ship That Died of Shame.My particular likes are war movies from this period, no gung ho style here just the opposite with your average working man in the street going to war (and probably not coming back) and witnessing the horrors of war first hand.Thank God it was them and not me but when you see these films it does make you wonder what todays generation would do.Acting is first class and picture quality is probably the best you can expect from Optimum/Studio Canal, the only other criticism i have is bearing in mind a lot of the people who will buy these DVD's are my generation and older is the lack of sub-titles which only adds a few pence to manufacturing costs and is a godsend to those who are deaf or hard of hearing like my daughter. So come on you people who transfer these disks keep the promises you made when you were trying to convert us away from video tapes add sub-titles as standard and join the 21st Century.Greatest Ever War Films Collection - Contemporary Classics (Steelbook) [DVD]

The description said five movies. There are seven in the package and there is something to recommend each of them. Mr. Attenborough is brilliant in every role. This package is a bargain- start to finish! Charm, intrigue, laughter... what more do want for a few dollars? There's nothing in theaters today that can compete with the the performances and ambiance.

4.0 out of 5 stars excellent box set but!! 18 April 2012
By Barry
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I like all the films in this Richard Attenborough set,
excellent quality considering their age .My only gripe
is : The Good: Box is sturdy ,and quite nice to look at
and DVDS come in slimline boxes which I personally dont
mind .The Bad : Why didn't Optimum use the origonal ,
artwork for the seperate DVDS ,instead of the DIRE! Black and white photos taken from the films ,for artwork ,I was dissapointed when I removed the films and saw the sleeves in each box were in my opinion like
poundshop covers which had no character and dull ,and as usuall no Subtitles! still a good buy for all of these 7 films ,and a good price from Amazon ,so just deducted 1 star for the sleeve designs ,but each film I would rate individually 5 stars ,if you want to save cash then buy this set ,but if you want the artwork design ,then get em seperate ,but that will cost more of your hard earned cash ,P.S (got over my dissapointment now and happy to keep this set ,although
I have bought 'Dunkirk' again seperate just for the Subtitles (Warner Edition you need for that ).
Kind regards Barry.
