Title: Calling this set an 'Ultimate Collection' is pure hyperbole...
Review: First off, of the 5 films, only TWO are 16:9 enhanced-c'mon FOX-er-KOCH-LORBER-it is nearly 2006-not 1998.Second, they leave a gaping hole in this set-two of her more well-know films here in America are missing: LOVE AND ANARCHY and THE SEDUCTION OF MIMI.If you are going to do a collection of LW films-then DO IT RIGHT!What a half-assed attempt.That being said-the remastered SWEPT AWAY is a much better looking transfer than the VHS rot transfered to disc before now.SUMMER NIGHTS is also a very good transfer.Even SEVEN BEAUTIES-which is 4:3 Letterbox has been remastered and looks pretty good.Its just that it would have looked excellent had it been 16:9 enhanced.The rest seem to be OK, though I recall one film had much dirt and other artifactsthroughout.I probably should rate this set just 3 stars-but being such a fan of LW-I have upped it to 4.Looks like FOX-LORBER can change their name, but not their lackluster way of doing things.
