The Premiere Frank Capra Collection (Mr. Smith Goes to Washington / It Happened One Night / You Can´t Take It with You / Mr. Deeds Goes to Town / American Madness / Frank Capra´s American Dream)
From: Sony Pictures Home Entertainment - Year: 1934-39 - Rated: Not Rated - Release Date: December 05, 2006 - Features: Extras! * - Recommended! Three of the five discs here look to be ports of previous releases, with American Madness and You Can´t Take It With You getting the attention. The choice then for collectors is whether to upgrade, given the lack of individual releases based on this set. Packaging aside, unless you´re a Capra completist and must have American Madness (assuming it doesn´t receive a later single release), I´d say it´s probably a pass; but, if you don´t already have most or any of these films, then this concise set gathers some of the most acclaimed American films of the 1930s, though the lack of meaningful extras dilutes its value as a scholarly tool of any kind. The deeper implications of Capra´s work and its larger context in American society then and now are ignored for more superficial stuff, which has its interest, mainly to newcomers.
