This DVD edition of Frank Borzage’s Lazybones (1925) has been mastered from a very-good to excellent 35mm print that appears to be an early Movietone rerelease print (the picture being cropped to an approximate 1.20:1 ratio). If this is the case, the film is not presented here with a Movietone soundtrack.

The film is presented with a music score performed on piano and flute.

Some collectors have reported scuffed discs that are packaged in die-cut pockets within the binder, and problems playing the double-sided 7th Heaven/The River disc. This disc packaging choice has been a disturbing trend in larger boxsets like this one and the plastic-slipcased Hitchcock collection with their die-cut disc pockets within stiff cardboard pages. Our own copy of this set has presented no playback problems with the discs on a Panasonic BD player. Others have complained that the set is bulky at seven pounds and hard to handle, with its large binder and two full-size books.
