  5. ↑ Indeed, Universal, Warner Bros., and Criterion, the most important producers controlling DVD releases of Hitchcock's films, have not only been generally scrupulous in their remastering of archival prints and their selection of supplementary materials, but have released the disks in boxed sets that emphasize Hitchcock's authorship as a selling point.
