Title: # 5 Is The Weakest Forbidden Hollywood Collection
Product review: Volume 5 has no extras, & the films are the weakest in the series. The best film in the collection & worth the price is "Ladies They Talk About" with a great cast: Barbara Stanwyck, Lillian Roth, Preston Foster, & Lyle Talbot. A woman-in-prison film. The scene where Roth shows Stanwyck around the jail is a pip!James Cagney is the star of "Hard To Handle" but it is lesser Cagney & he is not his usual dynamic self. (Why Warner's chose this over "Blonde Crazy" is unfathomable.)."The Mind Reader" is a good Warren William film in a usual part as a swindler."Miss Pinkerton" has Joan Blondell as a mystery solving nurse in a film that's just OK.I am a big Pre-code fan & the only film on this I would watch again is "Ladies They Talk About", which is also the only film in the set that was previously available on home video.
