Comments and Notes

• Strangers on a Train is a 2 disc special edition that replaces the previous 2001 UK release.
• Only Strangers on a Train and North by Northwest are currently available to purchase as separate DVDs.
• Unlike the full frame region 1 DVD, the R2 release of Dial M for Murder is a cropped 1.85:1 transfer (see this message board post for a comparison).
• The UK box set does not include the following 3 films that are included in the US region 1 box set (this is because Warner's does not own the UK distribution rights):
  • Mr and Mrs Smith (1941)
  • Suspicion (1941)
  • Foreign Correspondent (1940)
