I've watched this series on video from my local library, and it is a top notch documentary exploring the many phases of American Cinema. I wish I'd had access to a series like this when I was taking a university course in film way back in the late 70's.However, the price that these companies are asking for this series (from $225 to $1800 dollars) is totally bogus and ridiculous.A DVD costs less than a dollar, and you're asking for these absurd prices! A fair price would be maybe 50 dollars, but $1800?I hope that nobody is actually paying these prices from these sellers.
