The Case of the Missing Details
It is rarely argued that David Suchet is both refreshing and iconic as Agatha Christie's Poirot. In my opinion David Suchet's performance is like seeing Hurcule Poirot walk off the pages of the wonderful books by Agatha Christie and onto my Television Set. However, I wish to focus on this BEAUTIFUL collection rather than on Suchet's wonderful portrayal of Poirot.
Amazon hasn't posted much about this collection and I bought it on faith that it would be well worth the money. Since there is still little said about the collection, I thought I would give people a head's up as to what they will be getting.
This collection arrived in a Beautiful box measuring 4 and 1/4 inches deep 5 and 3/4 inches wide and 7 and 1/2 inches tall with a flip top lid and a front that folds open revealing four rather bulky blu-ray jewel cases. In side these four jewel cases the 28 disks are found; each labeled with the series number and disk number of that series. Jewel case one includes series 1-3 comprised of seven disks, case two has series 4-6 in it and is comprised of six disks, case three has series 7-11 in it and is comprised of eight disks, and the last case contains series 12-13 and the special features which is comprised of 7 disks; 28 disks in all.
Each series has different specs and are as follows:
series 1 & 2 both have an aspect ratio of 4:3 and have 2.0 Dolby Digital Sound
series 3 has and aspect ratio of 4:3 and has 2.0 PCM Sound
series 4 has and aspect ratio of 4:3 and has 2.0 Dolby Digital Sound
series 5 and 6 both have an aspect ratio of 4:3 and have 2.0 PCM Sound
series 7 and 8 both have an aspect ratio of 4:3 and have DTS HD 2.0 Sound
series 9 - 13 all have an aspect ratio of 16:9 and have DTS HD 2.0 Sound
Picture and sound, in my opinion, are wonderful. I will enjoy this series for years to come and I hope this information helps you in your decision about whether to buy this item or not.
Update - this review is for the Blu-Ray set which has 28 discs and if I am not mistaken the DVD set has 33.
