Sony Pictures Home Entertainment US are to release a box set of Frank Capra at Colombia directed films from the 1920's - 1930's. The set includes 19 films from those decades, plus 2024's Frank Capra: Mr. America documentary.. I have to admit that only three or four of the films are known to me and they are all Black & White with the old 1.33:1 and 1.37:1 aspect ratios with mono audio. I know the names of some of the actors, but that's as far as it goes for me. My question to users in this thread is; Does this set hold any interest for you?. I know that its all part of the history of filmmaking and many people have an interest in it, but would you buy this set?. Release date is November 19th. Amazon do not have a Pre-order page up yet so I don't know how much the set will cost (bet it's not cheap). I'm just interested to know if these old films will make it worthwhile for the effort that the studio has put in.
Nine of the films have both a standard 4K SDR and Blu-ray disc, the rest are Blu-ray only.
So This is Love (1928) - The Way of the Strong (1928) - That Certain Thing (1928) - Submarine (1928) - The Younger Generation (1929) - Flight (1929) - Ladies of Leisure (1930) - Rain or Shine (1930) - Dirigible (1931) - The Miracle Woman (1931) - Platinum Blonde (1931) - American Madness (1932) - The Bitter Tea of General Yen (1932) - Forbidden (1932) - Lady for a Day (1933) - It Happened One Night (1934) - Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (1936) - Lost Horizon (1937) - You Can't Take it with You (1938) - Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) and Frank Capra: Mr. America (2024).
