The Audrey Hepburn 5 Film Collection [DVD] [1961]

A fabulous collection, for very little money, of most of lovely Audrey Hepburn's best films. Any woman old enough to have delighted in these films when they were new, indeed any woman at all (and many men) would be glad to have so many opportunities to sit back for a good long wallow, several evenings running. Yes, "Sabrina" and "Funny Face" are really rather disgusting paeons to the superior pleasure of dating older men, but swallow your feminist ideals, lie back, and enjoy them both. There are no such drawbacks to "Roman Holiday", as delightful as it is moral, and one of most women's favourite films of all time.

Even if you have seen the films contained in this selection, they are all so worth seeing again. Audrey Hepburn had a certain 'je ne sais quoi' which is difficult to define, something maybe to do with the expressive eyes, the elfin appeal, the smooth, golden voice or just the freshness with which she took on the various roles. I think my favourite is 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' with 'Sabrina' and 'Roman Holiday' coming a very close behind. These are films you can see over and over again and enjoy each time as much as you did the first time round.

I had seen Roman Holiday and Sabrina on Love Film and wanted copies on dvd so when I saw this set of Hepburn films I wanted it. I already had Breakfast at Tiffany's but at this price it was cheaper to buy the set than the four dvd's on their own.Roman Holiday and Sabrina are really good films, Audrey at her best, Paris when it Sizzles and Funny face I didn't like so much but they are still worth having and Breakfast at Tiffany's is arguably Hepburns biggest film.I would maybe like My fair lady and How to steal a million in the set instead of Funnny face and Paris when it sizzles, but that's personal preference.Delivered quickly, boxed nicely, although I was expecting all the dvd's to come in special cases to match the box set and they are all different editions but I don't mind at all. Worth your money.

This is the usual mixed bag - collections are invariably used to offload a stinker and Paris When it Sizzles in spite of impeccable credentials is that stinker. However the rest of the films make up for it, even Funny Face in which Astair was far too old for her and she demonstrates that she couldn't sing. One also gets fascinated by the flatties she has to wear to keep from towering over tiny Fred. But it is well worth having.

Already had the video collection of these films, so had to update. What can I say? - I love you Audrey - always have, always will! I am going to introduce my Grandchildren to these films soon. It's never to early to fall in love with Audrey. Highly recommend.

I never thought I'd purchase a collection like this, yet Miss HEpburn shines on all 5 films. I have to admit, I have now developed quite a crush. All 5 films are beautifully made and the main woman cannot do anything else but make you wish you knew her. Love it.

Only tried two. Roman Holiday excellent. B at T visual excellent, sound very poor. Even at full volume diffiult tohear . very disappointing. didn't try the rest.

Having never actually watched any Audrey Hepburn films ever that Galaxy / Roman Holiday ad made me think I should.So far have watched Breakfast at Tiffany's, and it's one of those films which you finally watch and realise that although you thought you knew the story you actually don't at all. Price was worth it just for the one film I've watched so far.
