5.0 out of 5 stars 16 slices of late '50s "cool", Mar 4 2004
By 
SeaWasp (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Peter Gun Vol 1 (DVD)
Unfortunately in the 23-24 minute length of each episode there isn't all that much time for plot or character development, so for better or worse, we get right down to the nitty gritty. But for a taste of 1950s "Cool", being the TRUE "cool", it doesn't get much tastier than this. Bet you can't watch just ONE! Peter Gunn (Craig Stevens) is a sharp P.I. in a sharp suit who hangs out in a jazz club called "Mothers". His singer/girlfriend, Edie (Lola Albright) has got to be one of the most gorgeous 50s babes outshining even "Hawaiian Eye" cutie Connie Stevens and "77 Sunset Strip" bombshell Jacqueline Beer. And not a word of sass, just cool... so refreshing! Gunn's way-out beatnik buddy, Wilbur, is a welcome addition in selected episodes. The rain-soaked streets at night, the menacing docks area, the 1950s cars, great character actors like Whit Bissell, Jack Weston, Gavin McLeod, Frankie Darro, etc. show up, also guest musicians Shelley Mann, Shorty Rogers and others in on-camera appearances PLUS that Mancini score!! Today's teens, with their laughably misguided concept of "cool," should look in, take note, and shut up! They couldn't be this smooth if they tried. Some episodes are better than others, but all of the shows have great moments. The picture quality varies a little as well, but overall, considering the vintage of this stuff, it's pretty good. I have no complaints and highly recommend both Vol.1 and Vol.2

1.0 out of 5 stars Very poor image quality, Jun 4 2002
By 
Robert A. Glazer (Beverly Hills, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Peter Gun Vol 1 (DVD)
I love this series, and I own it on Laser Disc. I bought the DVD's thinking that the picture would be even better. Wrong wrong wrong!!! They have cramed so many episodes onto these discs that they are a mass of artifacts and very dull pictures. These are the only DVD's that I have ever had to return for reasons of very poor quality. Stay away.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor, May 20 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Peter Gun Vol 1 (DVD)
For A&E to call these "remastered" is a joke. The quality is poor, with scratches, obvious splices, a hum throughout some soundtracks - like THE DIRTY WORD in set 2. The only bright spot is that these shows are otherwise unavailable. But don't expect anything like DVD quality.
