Indeed, thanks for pointing that out.
Can anyone enlighten me about what had to be censored from these films? I'm curious.

As far as I know, there was nothing censored from Red Headed Woman or Waterloo Bridge; however, they were both made before the Hays code was instituted.
Baby Face was censored by the state of New York. Made in 1933, the story is about a woman who sleeps her way to the top. It had to be changed to be less straightforward.

COOL! I have the Jean Harlow 'Red-Headed Woman' on VHS. Can't wait to buy this finally on DVD. I just love her.
Cover artwork added.
Not bad on the artwork. Still a bit on the pricey side for 3 films.
Cool artwork. And that price is retail isn't it? It's not the price stores will be selling it for.

Won't be much discount on it. There weren't many good deals on Double Indemnity that came out today and that title has much more name recongition for the average DVD buyer than any of these titles.

The sad thing is, all of the footage that the Hayes Office banned wouldn't even give a "PG" rating to these films these days.

That's true. I bought Double Indemnity at Best Buy today and it was $19.99
I figured it would have been atleast $14.99 or so.

That's debatable. I think the uncut version of Baby Face may still draw an are rating for Sexual Connotations and Adult Situations, but maybe I'm wrong. Unfortunately, the ratings board doesn't really do its job since it seems to be obsessed with nudity and thinks anything without nudity is okay for kids.

I'm anxious to see the uncensored version of Baby Face, but they aren't going to give us the regular version as well? That seems really odd.
