Wow!!! Those are must buys for me! Great news!!

Marcel H. · May 19, 2009

Ha, superb news.

I love Sony's new policy!!

Richard M S · May 19, 2009

I am really looking forward to these sets, especially since they are at a VERY affordable price.

Eric Peterson · May 19, 2009

Wow! Is it too early to make Sony "Studio of the Year"?

Coopsgirl_31 · May 19, 2009

This is great news!! I'm especially excited about the Jean Arthur films. If You Could Only Cook is one of my faves of hers.

RafaelPires · May 19, 2009

I hope these sets sell very well, so that Sony continue to produce more and more of these collections. And considering the lack of new classic entries for August, I think they will be a success (they should be irrespectively of this, just for the titles selected)

And that Sony goodness just keeps on coming.

borisfw · May 19, 2009

These are on my to buy list. A Night to Remember is one i am really happy to see. Keep em coming Columbia.

John_S · May 19, 2009

Count me in also--- I'm a big fan of "Too Many Husbands" and "Theodora Goes Wild".

CineKarine · May 19, 2009

I love, love, love every single film in these upcoming collections

What tremendous news!!!

Charles H · May 19, 2009

Wonderful, wonderful news! Classicflix just posted this too. I remember that the Rosalind Russell MY SISTER EILEEN was partnered with the letterboxed musical on the old laserdisc. A very nice surprise during the dry season.

Brent S · May 19, 2009

For the Stooges fans among us, don't forget that MY SISTER EILEEN (1942) has the added bonus of a hilarious cameo by Moe, Larry & Curly.

PaulP · May 19, 2009

Sounds very awesome. Screwball comedy hasn't been very well released, apart from maybe Warner's Classic Comedies set from a few years ago (with Bringing Up Baby etc.).

mdnitoil · May 19, 2009

Wow! I don't know what's gotten into Sony these days, but I hope they don't recover anytime soon. :laugh:

Robert13 · May 20, 2009

I wish their tv-on-dvd department would start churning out classic and short-lived old shows.

RafaelPires · May 20, 2009

I hope the sales encourage them to think about upcoming volumes. Columbia has many choices in this vaults. My choices would be:

- You belong to me (another Stanwyck/Fonda pairing - there are some people that don't like this one, but it's definitively not my case);
- It had to be you (Ginger Rogers is great in this role);
- They all kissed the Bride (Crawford stepping in a role originally designed for Carole Lombard, and she did a great job);
- The Impatitent Years (Last Jean Arthur film for Columbia).

And there are also more Jean Arthur, Loretta Young and Rosalind Russell wonderful vehicles to be considered.

Charles H · May 20, 2009

would love to see a Lucille Ball collection: HER HUSBAND'S AFFAIRS, MISS GRANT TAKES RICHMOND, THE FULLER BRUSH GIRL, and as a curiosity-bonus, THE MAGIC CARPET (Lucy meets Perry Mason!)

Garysb · May 20, 2009

I am beyond thrilled. Theodora Goes Wild is right up there with the Awful Truth as one of my favorite Irene Dunne films . Thank you Sony.

Garysb · May 20, 2009

It had to be you was a cute movie but Ginger was way too old at the time for the part she was playing.
