All 5 films are on 5 double-sided laserdiscs, each of which has been color-tinted. Also included is the original 4-page brochure which accompanies this set which discusses DeMille and these films and includes chapter stops for each film on the last page. All 5 laserdiscs are in perfect condition (no scratches or any other flaws) as well as the brochure. The outer cardboard box is in fine+ condition with random signs of light wear on the corners and some scratches in the center only. This is a rare OOP set featuring some of DeMille's greatest silent films, which come from the renowned Blackhawk Films Collection. This Edition was produced in cooperation with the Estate of Cecil B. DeMille with film materials courtesy of the George Eastman House.
We could not show all 10 sides of the laserdiscs since we are only allowed 12 images per listing, but we wanted to give the buyer a good sense as to the great condition of this particular box set.
