Classic Comedies Collection
The Biggest Stars of The Golden Era- In Some of The Greatest Comedies Ever Made!
Bringing Up Baby: Special Edition
All the earnest paleontologist (Cary Grant) wants is an intercostal clavicle to complete his brontosaurus skeleton. What he gets is an out-of-control toboggan ride with a scatterbrained heiress (Katharine Hepburn) nuts about him (or maybe just nuts). Riding along are a dog named George, a leopard named Baby, a snooty society matron with a spare million, a caretaker on the sauce and more. In this giddy romp directed by Howard Hawks, Grant ends up in a negligee, Hepburn ends up in a bottomless evening gown, everyone ends up in jail and Bringing Up Baby ends up as the most glorious laughter-inducing movie ever!
Philadelphia Story, The: Special Edition
Sophisticated romantic comedy achieved its pinnacle in this timeless classic voted one of the Top 100 American Films of all time by the American Film Institute. Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant, and Best Actor Academy Award winner James Stewart star in the masterful comedy (directed by George Cukor) about a faultfinding, bride-to-be socialite who gets her comeuppance.
Dinner At Eight:
Dinner At Eight, a vastly entertaining behind-closed-doors glimpse into the lives of the troubled and troublemaking Who´s Who of people invited to a posh Manhattan party, is served with ample helpings of humor and melodrama. Buoyed by the success of the studio´s multistarred, multistoried Grand Hotel the year before, producer David O. Selznick aspired for something grander-and found it in this George Cukor-directed adaptation of the George S. Kaufman/Edna Ferber stage hit.
Libeled Lady:
Bill Chandler (William Powell) is one of America´s great anglers, a sports fisherman without peer, doom in waders to the wiliest trout. And that isn´t the only fish story Chandler tells. Four of Hollywood´s greatest stars-Powell, Jean Harlow, Myrna Loy and Spencer Tracy-reel in this whopper of a screwball romantic comedy classic nominated for a Best Picture Oscar. It all starts when society diva Loy slaps newsman Tracy with a libel suit. Tracy enlists fiancée Harlow and down-on-his-luck Powell in a counter maneuver involving a rigged marriage, a phony seduction, a fabulously funny fishing scene, fisticuffs, broken promises, and hearts and eventually, true love for all. This Lady is one fine catch.
Stage Door:
Ginger Rogers and Ann Miller tap in time and rat-a-tat lines. Lucille Ball braves a date with an obnoxious lumber baron. Eve Arden can´t recall Hamlet but one meets so many people in the big city. And Katharine Hepburn becomes Broadway´s biggest star in a play wherein she notes "the calla lilies are in bloom again."
Stars galore shine in this nominee for 4 Academy Awards including Best Picture, a fast, witty story of aspiring actresses living at a theatrical boarding house. Based on the Edna Ferber/George S. Kaufman play, the tale was considerably rewritten for the film, so much that Kaufman quipped that it should be called Screen Door. What matters most to an acting hopeful is an open door. With humor and hart, this excellent movie suggest some things matter more.
To Be Or Not To Be:
The world is on the brink of war but the show must go on. So Joseph Tura, the Polish actor who put the ham in Hamlet, stares beyond the footlights and says: "To Be or Not to Be." That is the question, as well as the classic in which director Ernst Lubitsch, whose witty "Lubitsch touch" had stylishly lampooned sex and wealth, now took on a new target: Nazism. The story centers on a Warsaw theatrical troupe that outwits Nazi occupiers by playing the roles of (and for) their lives. Jack Benny stars as Tura, underplaying hilariously. In her final role, Carole Lombard is zany and radiant as his alluring wife. Typical of Lubitsch, a gem-sprinkled ensemble has opportunities to shine. No question: watching this To Be is to be gloriously entertained.
