Okay, okay. I'm gonna' swallow my pride and admit that Volume 8
is the odd ball of the bunch. For those that don't want it, you've helped me to understand where you're coming from.
I haven't even started to view mine yet, but I'm glad I have it for my collection. It really is too bad that so many remakes were made in the mid-to-late 50's, but I find it fun and interesting to compare the originals with the remakes by watching them back-to-back. Afterall, it is what it is.
