Description
 
Four gems of the early Hollywood studio system are featured in this exclusive    set, including the long-overdue DVD release of F.W. Murnau's silent classic,     Sunrise (1927, 97 mins.), his first Hollywood film, but scripted with      Carl Mayer in Germany. A near perfect film that concerns the marriage of a     peasant couple whose honeymoon in the big city is detoured by a sultry         seductress. In the 1941 Best Picture Oscar-winner, How Green Was My         Valley (John Ford, 1941, 118 mins.), an offscreen narrator reflects on his    life and work in a poetic and beautiful rendering of Welsh village life.       Stellar performances highlight Gentleman's Agreement (Elia Kazan, 1947,  118 mins.), about a talented journalist (Gregory Peck) who poses as a Jew in   order to research a series of articles about anti-Semitism and discovers a       dark and disturbing backlash experienced by his family. With Celeste Holm in   an Oscar-winning role. Six Oscars were awarded to All About Eve (Joseph  L. Mankiewicz, 1950, 138 mins.), a cynical and entertaining examination of     life as it exists on the Broadway theatre scene. Bette Davis glows as the        aging star being undermined by her protege Anne Baxter, as Eve Harrington.     Friedrich W. Murnau/John Ford/Elia Kazan/Joseph L. Mankiewicz---USA---1927/1941/1947/1950---471 mins.
