Maria Montez and Jon Hall Collection Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation 

The Maria Montez and Jon Hall Collection is one of the most entertaining collections distributor Kino Lorber has released to date. The set includes three fantastic adventure-romance films with White Savage, Gypsy Wildcat, and Sudan. Stars Maria Montez and Jon Hall are terrific and make this an essential collection of classics.

As I watched these classic Hollywood adventures, I inadvertently ended up staying up the entire night watching all three of them back-to-back (something I rarely do). I simply became so lost in the films as I was enjoying them so much. I couldn't look away. The films are terrific fun – full of charm, spectacle, and romance. Don't miss this essential Blu-ray collection from Kino – featuring stunning new 2K masters of the films. Highly recommended.
