Silver Screen Icons: Comedy (4FE/DVD)ARSENIC AND OLD LACE Cary Grant and a stellar cast romp through this classic farce based on the Broadway hit and breezily directed by Frank Capra. A frazzled drama critic’s two maiden aunts put a secret ingredient in their elderberry wine – and the resulting circus is howlingly hilarious, with a comically rubber-faced, rubber-legged Grant in the center ring. A NIGHT AT THE OPERA Grand opera equals grand comedy as the Marx Brothers cram a ship’s stateroom and more with wall-to-wall gags, one-liners, musical riffs and two hard-boiled eggs – all while skewering pompous schemes to sabotage an opera production. “Arguably their finest film” (4 Star Rating! - Leonard Maltin’s Movie Guide). THE LONG, LONG TRAILER Anyone know how to park this thing? Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz play newlyweds who hit the honeymoon road with a 40-foot house trailer in tow in this slaphappily-ever-after comedy directed by Vincente Minnelli. FATHER OF THE BRIDE (1950) Spencer Tracy is the father and Elizabeth Taylor the bride in this comic celebration of an American rite (and wrongs) of passage. Here comes the bride, there goes dad’s wallet…and everyone’s heart. What sparkling fun!]]>

TCM Greatest Classic Films: Classic Moms
I bought this dvd just for the movie "I Remember Mama " but I finally got to see Mildred Pierce in its entirety as a bonus. The quality of the dvd was perfectly fine with no glitches or problems. 4 movies for $9 is a ridiculously good price. The case did sustain a small chip on the spine in shipping but case was still functional.

Classic Movies
I wanted these very badly, and they played very well. Some films are hard to find, especially some of the older ones, and this package had just the ones I wanted all together in one package.

What a great "Classic Moms" Film Collection with so many great and enjoyable films all at one's finger tips!
I love "classic Hollywood actresses" and in this collection one would have: Joan Crawford (Mildred Pierce), Irene Dunn (I Remember Mama), many strong female leads in "The Magnificent Ambersons" and Greer Garson in (Mrs. Miniver). What a great collection and no wonder they named it "Classic Moms'". These great Black and White films have some much to offer, especially in the genre of "film noir" which really showed how the camera could be used as the third person in the room, describing place, mood or character! I was so happy to purchase this collection for a great price and add it to my "Classic Hollywood Collection" of other great films that I desperately want to add to my many film collection.

Classy Classics about Mothers: Perhaps TCM's Greatest of Its "Greatest" Series
Greer Garson as Mrs. Miniver and Walter Pidgeon as her husband. Mildred Pierce played by Joan Crawford, Welles' flawed "Magnificent Ambersons" and the original "I Remember Mama". 4 classics with a crew of Oscar recipients. One of Film Noir's masterpieces that is also a feminist standard. A film so good at touching heartstrings it is credited with readying American audiences for WWII. And perhaps the best salute to an immigrant family ever. A fantastic collection. 4 films to ponder and enjoy for years. Forever, and all 4 are wonderful prints. One of TCM's best bargains.

Four Awesome Films!
This is an excellent Five Star DVD collection from Turner Classic Movies. Even though I already owned a couple of the films in this collection, I still bought it! These movies are all classics, at under $10, it's well worth it. If you enjoy classic movies, this is worth getting, don't hesitate.

Worth it just for The Magnificent Ambersons!
This collection is, to the best of the my knowledge, the only format of Orson Welles' The Magnificent Ambersons still in print on home video, which is enough to justify a purchase. The other films are wonderful, as well. This is one of the better Turner collections.
