The new Cary Grant Box Set from Sony reveals that the company also is planning a Premiere Edition Frank Capra Box Set. It will include It Happened One Night, Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, You Can't Take It with You, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Platinum Blonde, and new-to-DVD American Madness. The release seems likely to be later this year although no timing is specified.
The new Cary Grant box set contains new transfers and some new features as well as porting over most of the supplements from the original releases, so it seems reasonable to expect similar treatment on the Capra films. Restoration work on Mr. Smith was already known to be underway. The only down side is the probability that American Madness will only be available in the Capra box, similar to how Holiday is being treated with the Grant box.
