4. Exodus (1960) - directed by Otto Preminger costarring Eva Marie Saint. Story of the birth of the modern nation of Israel.

5. The Hustler (1961) - directed by Robert Rossen costarring Piper Laurie. One of Newman’s most famous roles as a pool hustler who wants to beat Minnesota Fats. The current two disc edition of this film is quite good, it will be interesting to see if it is improved upon.

6. Adventures of a Young Man (1962) - directed by Martin Ritt costarring Diane Baker. Paul Newman is tenth billed and thus plays a very small part.

7. What a Way to Go! (1964) - directed by J. Lee Thompson. Stars Shirley MacLaine as a woman who brings fortune, fame, and death to all of her husbands. Paul Newman plays one of them, so this really is not his film.

8. Hombre (1967) - directed by Martin Ritt and costarring Frederic March. This is a very good western with the focus back on Newman in the lead.

9.Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969) - directed by George Roy Hill and costarring Robert Redford. A delightful western with comic and tragic touches.

10. Towering Inferno (1974) - costarring Steve McQueen. Newman plays an architect who returns from a long vacation to find that the skyscraper he designed has been constructed in a substandard fashion. A fire breaks out the night that the building owner is hosting a party on the roof celebrating the building’s opening.

11. Buffalo Bill and the Indians, or Sitting Bull’s History Lesson (1976) - directed by Robert Altman and costarring Joel Grey. A bit too long, and somewhat controversial tale with Newman as Buffalo Bill.

12. Quintet (1979) - directed by Robert Altman and costarring Vittorio Gassman. Futuristic film in which bored humanity has invented a game - “Quintet” - to pass the time. However, dying is the penalty for the human game pieces.

13. The Verdict (1982) - Sidney Lumet directs and James Mason costars in a courtroom drama involving medical malpractice in which Newman’s character lands a case where all parties wish to settle out of court. However, Newman’s character wants to pursue the case to trial.

Thirteen films in all, although I’m not sure why “Adventures of a Young Man” is included since Newman’s role here is very small, and this is not even a major film. A booklet is also supposed to be included with this set.

This is a set of previously-released Newman films packaged with a nice softcover book intended as a posthumous tribute. It’s relatively expensive for some new packaging of material already available, and most Newman fans will probably already have all the films included. You’re essentially paying for the book. The discs are contained in obligatory cardboard slits in flipcases; the kind of packaging customers generally complain about.

The Fox dvds are generally nice pressings, including the special editions of HUSTLER, BUTCH & SUNDANCE, INFERNO and VERDICT; but the MGM/UA pressings of EXODUS and BUFFALO BILL are the rotten non-anamorphic originals of years ago (interlaced crud - inexcusable), whose remastering would have made this set marginally more price worthy.

This set is mostly a Fox marketing ploy for those with excess cash. Newman deserves a box set of the same caliber as FORD AT FOX, MURNAU, BORZAGE & FOX or even THE PINK PANTHER ULTIMATE COLLECTION.
