Review by Bill Wolford
Added: April 5, 2013
Seems that it's about time for another Mill Creek 50 pack review. I haven't done one in a while, so I thought this would be as good a time as any. I thought I'd try something different. Something new for me. Growing up, I saw my fair share (probably more than my fair share) of bad horror and sci-fi flicks, but it seems that I never ran across a truly bad black and white crime movie. The same holds true in this set. There is not a bad movie to be found in this 50 pack. So why not give it a 10/10 and herald it the best movie pack ever made? Well, Mill Creek that's why. The quality of the video and audio in this set is the worst I've ever seen by Mill Creek. Yes, I know the movies are old, but that's no excuse to have all 50 movies suffering in mediocrity at best, when every one of those films would be entertaining if they had more than passable sound and picture. (and some don't even fare that well). So, On with the films in the set. All of the films are fullscreen and in black and white, so I won't be mentioning this at the end of each films synopsis, just the audio and video quality.

The Mandarin Mystery-This early mystery is based upon the Ellery Queen novel entitled The Chinese Orange Mystery and features Eddie Quillian as the famed sleuth. The theft of a $50,000 stamp and the subsequent murders of two people found in locked rooms bring Ellery Queen in on the case.

Well now, as I said earlier, there are some decent films here. Quite a lot of them are good in fact. The problem is that most of the time either the picture or the sound (sometimes both) are problematic. There lies the decision for you. Do you have a decent collection of crime, noir and mystery films already? Then you can safely pass this by. But if you somehow missed out on most of those genres, you might want to pick this up as a primer and then go looking for superior copies of your favorites. 5/10.
