I know these packs are usually bad news, but this is one which is actually worth picking up. The quality isn't perfect, but you probably wouldn't be able to find most of these films in better quality anyway.

It has...

Gambling with Souls: A young housewife longing for the finer things in life, turns to frequenting shady bars and gambling. She is forced into prostitution to pay off her losses. (1936, 70 mins.)

Joyless Street: The fortunes of some Viennese neighbors are intertwined in this story set during the post-World War I depression in Austria. (1925, 61 mins.)

Here's a few screen caps. A few of the movies are loud VHS transfers but most of them look pretty good considering.

Those movies probably haven't looked good since they were made.

We're lucky they even exist today, all things considered.

I have to say that that is the set to get when it comes to the selection of films.

I've been dying to get my mitts on a copy of CHAINED FOR LIFE (among some of the others)for years.

TERROR OF TINY TOWN!!!111

Yeah exactly. Some of the scenes in most of the movies are so overexposed it's unbelievable, but the rest of the film would be absolutely fine... so a lot of it as you said has to do with the fact these films have never looked good.
