5.0 out of 5 stars
Retail is $29.98 not $35, Nov 23 2011
By Alatheia - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Kojak Comp Movie Collection (DVD)
A detailed listing of the movies can be found on the Shout Factory site. Shout Factory gives the list price of $29.98. Amazon may wish to correct their inflated list price.SF lists the movies:
The Marcus-Nelson Murders (1973)
The Belarus File (1985)
The Prince of Justice (1987)
Ariana (1989)
Fatal Flaw (1989)
None So Blind (1990)
It's Always Something (1990)
Flowers For Matty (1990)
None of these movies are on the first or second season sets.
I love these pre-tech detective movies. Technology is no substitute for a keen mind and a knowledge of human nature. And Kojak mysteries always have a good escape quality; good wins, evil loses, and the viewer isn't immersed in gratuitous gore and perversion on the way.

Finally, "The Marcus-Nelson Murders" is on DVD. And just perfect as to the picture quality and sound quality. Brand-new looking for a 1973 movie, the master for this was great quality and maybe even further cleaned up. Watched it tonight upon receiving this pre-ordered item from Amazon. Stunningly great movie as to the story, Abby Mann script (1973 Emmy-winning), acting, etc. An infamous, sad, true story, based on NYC's "Career Girl Murders." Wonderful, not-found-anywhere-else, melancholy Andy Kim song used for the closing credits: "Don't Give Me A Road I Can't Walk." It's appropriately sad music and lyrics to close the show. The movie runs over 2:18."The Marcus-Nelson Murders" is the true story of a young black man who was railroaded by the Manhattan police and D.A. for the 1963 murders of two white women in their 20s, and by the Brooklyn D.A. and police for the attempted rape of a Puerto Rican woman. The young man told the police he didn't do it, but by the next day, he had confessed, in great detail, over 60 typewritten pages. Because, in actuality, . . . the police had beat it out of him. There are more twists and turns which I'll not mention here and ruin your viewing pleasure. (In real life, the young black man was George Whitmore, Jr.) This story, as the movie notes, was one of the cases that formed the basis for the 1966 Supreme Court Miranda decision.
"The Belarus File", on the same disc #1, looks to be a soft-focus film-- literally it's recorded on film, not video. Didn't watch it through and never saw it before.
I haven't viewed the other discs yet, but this collection is worth it just for the magnificent copy of the now-released great "The Marcus-Nelson Murders" movie.
Listmania!
