Product Description
PATTON: PATTON is a three-dimensional bronze bust of World War II field general George S. Patton (George C. Scott) who wrote poetry fired pistols at strafing fighter planes and loved America with a lofty and historical zeal. Tracing his personal rivalries with such generals as Rommel and Montgomery his problematic treatment of his own men and his nearly runaway contempt for diplomacy the film triumphs as an enduring portrait of a complex and larger-than-life figure. PATTON was recipient of 10 Academy Award Nominations and winner of eight including Best Picture Best Director Best Actor--Scott Best (Adapted) Screenplay--Francis Ford Coppola/Edmund H. North.THE LONGEST DAY: An all-star cast enlists for this epic recreation of the Allied invasion of Normandy. Academy Award Nominations: five including Best Picture. Academy Awards: Best (Black-and-White) Cinematography.TORA! TORA! TORA!: Director Richard Fleischer (SOYLENT GREEN) and two Japanese directors put together this ultrarealistic account of the bombing of Pearl Harbor as presented from the perspectives of both nations as diplomatic tensions rise between the two countries. While the Japanese military plans its attack on American military installations the American forces nearly stumble into a much greater calamity due to a series of errors and mistakes. As the two sides plunge closer to war the tension escalates until the final spectacular air raid the most realistic ever filmed. This Japanese-American co-production an ITA award-winner has a fabulous cast including Martin Balsam Joseph Cotten Jason Robards James Whitmore and E.G. Marshall.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA Rating: NR UPC: 024543399209 Manufacturer No: 2239920

 Fox Collection November 18, 2008
The Great Fox War Movies (Patton - Special Edition / The Longest Day / Tora! Tora! Tora! - Special Edition)
I purchased this set and the DVD's (6) Were Damaged. I requested a replacement. The Replacement was also damaged. The problem is the DVD's are in paper inserts in the Book. They are not protected. In the packaging process by FOX ( Not Amazon ) The DVD's get all scratched and will not play.
 Can't vouch for content, but packaging is really nice September 10, 2008
As I said in the title, I can't vouch for the content as this was purchased as a gift for my Dad. However, the packaging is great. I thought Amazon made a mistake and sent a book instead of the DVD package, but it turned out to be BOTH a book and the DVD's (guess I should have read the description better). In any case, I know they are classic movies and this deluxe presentation will make an impressive gift.
 3 Great Movies August 8, 2008
These are 3 fantastic WWII movies. First, there's George C. Scott's tour-de-force, Oscar-winning performance as Patton. Second, the Cornelius Ryan all-star classic, The Longest Day. Finally, the definitive Pearl Harbor movie, Tora! Tora! Tora!, which is told from both the American and Japanese points-of-view. You can't go wrong here. Lots of action and limited gore.
 Not the best deal... August 8, 2008

Do yourself a favor and buy the special two disk editions of each of these movies separately. You won't get the book, but you'll save almost $50 off the price of this set. Unless of course the book is worth the extra fifty to you... It certainly isn't to me.
GREAT FOR MOVIE BUFFS and a great gift item. April 11, 2007
