This disc is very good, but the booklets that accompany Criterion Blu-rays are so often in poor condition. Not a big deal, but worth considering before buying.
The Great Escape is obviously a classic and a must-see for all movie fans, but the Blu-ray leaves a bit to be desired. It doesn't come with many extras and the Blu-ray case is very flimsy and easily dinged (if you care about such a thing, like I do.) Still, for the price, it's still worth getting.
While it isn't one of Kurosawa's very best films, Throne of Blood is still a must-see for fans of foreign cinema. Criterion did an excellent job on this Blu-ray.
