To answer the person who questioned which version of THE SAND PEBBLES is featured in this package, it IS the 3-hour roadshow version. Of the 4 movies in the package, I would say PEBBLES is still the weakest transfer, although it is still of a higher quality than many blu-rays I've seen. I suppose that just points to the superior quality of the other 3 in the set. Both PATTON and THE LONGEST DAY are stunning. Extras are strongest with PEBBLES. It's possible that PATTON and LONGEST are single disks in multiple-disk collections. Still, given the price and the quality of the selection, this is a very strong package.

In all fairness, I have not purchased this DVD 4-pack. These are four excellent movies all in their own right. I just question the wisdom of including "The Sand Pebbles" in a package of World War ll movies.I think that anyone of a number of movies should have been substituted. Movies such as "A Bridge Too Far", "Midway" (the original 3-hour version and not the edited 132 minute version), " The Bridge at
Remagen," "MacArthur" or "Saving Private Ryan." There are probably many more that could have been included. I think, however, that the four movies are excellent.

When Sand Pebbles came out on bluray it was the shortened version.The cut scenes were placed as an extra. At least the dvd is the original 3 hour Roadshow version (which I saw in 70mm many times). To shorten this much underated masterpiece is a crime. Let us hope we will get the full version on this bluray release.Want Patton / Longest Day / Sand Pebbles / Tora Tora (2012) Discount?
