Warner Gangster Volume 3
|
Warner's continues to lead the way with the release of classic films onto dvd and this box set is no exception. 2008 marks the 85th anniversary of the founding of the company and this collection has been released to coincide with this monumental event. While many of the films may be unfamiliar to mainstream audiences, for those who know and love classic Hollywood this box set will not disappoint.
Four of the six fims are displays of james Cagney's wit, grace, and sheer electricity onscreen. Smart Money is the only film that Cagney and Robinson made together and it was made even before Cagney had emerged as a major star at Warners. Ladykiller is a great example of Hollywood parodying itself (Cagney works as an usher at the Strand theater, becomes a low budget actor and then a star, has contract problems with the studios).
The black legion demonstrates the power and anguish of Bogie before he becomes a major star in the 1940s. Together these fims demonstrate why Warner's was the studio of the people. |
