Product Description
An enticing trio of suave silver screen seducers lies at the heart of this fourth collection of pre-Code sensations whose subject matter would soon be forbidden by the infamous Production Code. William Powell, Kay Francis and David Manners prove that sophistication and sexiness once walked hand in hand -- ably abetted (and abedded!) by the likes of Joan Blondell, Loretta Young and George Brent. Powell headlines in Jewel Robbery and Lawyer Man, while his Jewel costar Francis works late with David Manners in Man Wanted (all three directed by cinema maestro William Dieterle), who in turn teaches innocent Loretta Young just why They Call It Sin. From the simply frank to the jaw-droppingly shocking, this forbidden foursome promises nights of delight. This collection includes: Jewel Robbery (1932), Lawyer Man (1932), Man Wanted (1932), They Call It Sin (1932)

I am pretty sure this was remastered in some way, or it's a lucky find.
The movie itself is quite interesting, the characters have a bit more depth than usual, I was surprised that Kay Francis and her husband almost consider not breaking up, as it seems many movies of this era dealt with marriage and love quite easily as it they were talking about buying a record.
Kay Francis looks beautiful, the sets are classic pro WB art déco, and her leading man also looks very good. Una Merkel is a hoot as usual.
This is a good package of a movie and will expect nothing less from the other movies. I held off buying the Forbidden Hollywood packages in DVD-R because these collections used to be so carefully packaged and now they are what they are, simply the movies, with their trailers. At least the menu screens and disc themselves look very good.

All in all, this collection is great. It contains 4 films: Jewel Robbery (William Powell is a very attractive robber, Kay Francis his only too willing victim), Lawyer Man (William Powell is a scrappy lawyer making it big alongside faithful assistant Joan Blondell), Man Wanted (Kay Francis as the executive who employs an attractive male secretary) and They Call it Sin (Loretta Young as a small-town pianist who comes to NYC).
I really enjoyed all of these films, which can be classified as romantic comedies and dramas. Excellent actors, and refreshing to experience the "daring" attitudes not found in your typical 1930s-40s film where one can guess how things will end up by simply using the rather restrictive moral code of the time.
There are no subtitles, which doesn't matter since the sound is very good. Go buy it and marvel at acting skills and story lines in these films, all made in 1932.
