I have one of the two blueray sets. Very nicely packaged, individual sleeves, reading material for each move, slipcase.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CQTI9HY/

3 of masterpiece class

The packaging is more plain but the disc content also blu ray and the extras are the very very similar. Presentation interviews of Hitch's assistants and/or actors telling tales and antidotes of what it was like on the set making these movies.

Strangers On A Train (1951) Farley Granger Robert Walker Patricia Hitchcock (Alfred Hitchcock's daughter).

Dial M For Murder (1954) Ray Milland Grace Kelley

North By Northwest (1959) Cary Grant Eva Marie Saint

Alfred Hitchcock: Premiere Collection (DVD, 2008, 8-Disc Set)

This is the most deluxe packaged set. But older and DVD instead of Blu ray. Super nice packaging with binder and slipcase. These are older but really restored to excellent condition. Includes the very first film that Hitchcock was allowed full control (The Lodger). Was a huge success (1927 Silent) and made Hitchcock famous.

I would look for this set new on eBay.

The Lodger (1927 Silent) Ivor Novello, June (June used just one name and of course she was blonde). Novello was the biggest star in the UK at this early time.

Sabotage (1936) (not the same as Saboteur on the first set above) Silvia Sidney (written by Joseph Conrad)

Young and Innocent (1937) Nova Pillbeam Derrick de Marney

Rebecca (1940) Laurence Olivier Joan Fontaine George Sanders (Based on this success, Hitch left UK for Hollywood).

Lifeboat (1944) ) Tallulah Bankhead Walter Slezak (written by John Steinbeck)

Spellbound (1945) Ingrid Bergman Gregory Peck

Notorious (1946) Cary Grant Ingrid Bergman

The Paradine Case (1947) Gregory Peck Ann Todd

Although these 8 are older they feature Extensive featurettes, vintage trailers, restoration comparisons, commentary from film historians. And as I said fully restored and top notch packaging.

Hitch's daughter Patricia Hitchcock. She shows up at 0:50 in the background in this short video. She is not a fool.
