Here's another solid box set from Treeline Films, with a couple of films that are worth the price of admission on their own. The Stranger is an Orson Welles classic, and The Kennel Murder Case is the best Philo Vance I've seen with Michael Curtiz directing William Powell in the role.
There are a whole host of recurring characters: Basil Rathbone (and others) as Sherlock Holmes; Bulldog Drummond, some with John Barrymore; Dick Tracy up against villains including Boris Karloff; both Karloff and Lugosi as Mr Wong; Nancy Drew; Philo Vance; and Peter Lorre in the one public domain Mr Moto.
There's also some important film noir. Outside of The Stranger, there's also Edgar G Ulmer's zero budget classic Detour and Fritz Lang's Scarlet Street.
