Boom Town (1940) NEW TO DVD!
In this pyrotechnics-filled film classic, the only things bigger than the adventure are the four stars: screen giants Clark Gable and Spencer Tracy (in their last film together) as the oilmen and Claudette Colbert and Hedy Lamarr as the women in their tumultuous lives. As the foursome struggle through the personal upheaval of love and loyalties, they hit a gusher, striking it rich - and a rig bursts into a screen-filling inferno that could turn dreams to dust. Boom Town boomed at the box office, too, and garnered two Oscar nominations for Cinematography and Special Effects.
DVD Special Features:
· Vintage short Hollywood Hobbies
· Classic cartoon Home on the Range
· Theatrical trailer
· Languages: English & Français
· Subtitles: English, Français & Español (Feature Film Only)
China Seas (1935) NEW TO DVD!
With their wisecracking banter, gutsy glamour and dynamic physicality, Gable and Harlow prove once again that they were the '30s most scorching screen pair in this rough-and-tumble tale of the sea, their fourth film together. Gable plays rugged Captain Alan Gaskell who sails his steamer ship through the perilous waters between Hong Kong and Singapore carrying a secret cargo of British gold. That's not the only risky cargo he carries. Both his fiery mistress (Jean Harlow) and his refined fiancée (Rosalind Russell) are aboard. Highlights include a raging typhoon, a battle with bloodthirsty Malay pirates, and Harlow's drinking contest with bluff villain Wallace Beery, who wants the gold and the platinum blonde.
DVD Special Features:
· Vintage Fitzpatrick TravelTalk short Cherry Blossom Time in Japan
· Musical short A Girl's Best Years
· Theatrical trailer
· Languages: English & Français
· Subtitles: English, Français & Español (feature film only)
Dancing Lady (1933) NEW TO DVD
Three film icons give this backstage musical a jolt of superstar electricity in a song-, dance-, and romance-filled extravaganza featuring support by Nelson Eddy and Robert Benchley with tunes by Rodgers and Hart, Burton Lane, Dorothy Fields and more musical greats. Gable and Crawford had such stellar chemistry that MGM teamed them for eight movies. Here, as always, they have street-smart glamour and charisma to burn, with Crawford in the role of a struggling young dancer being wooed by a rich playboy, and Gable as the Broadway director who gives her a role in his show. Making their film debuts are the debonair dancing Fred Astaire, as himself, and the delightfully ditzy Three Stooges.
DVD Special Features:
· 2 vintage musical shorts:
o Roast-Beef & Movies
o Plane Nuts
· Theatrical trailer
· Languages: English & Français
· Subtitles: English, Français & Español (feature film only)
Mogambo (1953) NEW TO DVD!
A remake of the 1932 film Red Dust Gable made with Jean Harlow, twenty years later he now costars with the sizzling Ava Gardner. Directed by John Ford, and shot on location in Africa this time, the film garnered two Oscar nominations including Best Actress (Ava Gardner) and Best Supporting Actress (Grace Kelly). The romantic pot-boiler adventure finds Gable as a big game trapper and guide hired by an anthropologist to lead a safari in the jungles of Kenya, where he finds himself becoming the target of affections of the boss' wife (Grace Kelly) and a Broadway showgirl (Ava Gardner).
DVD Special Features
· Theatrical Trailer
San Francisco (1936) NEW TO DVD!
Tremendous star power, a great story, and lavish special effects sequences resulted in this becoming one of the year's blockbusters, earning seven Academy Award® nominations, and one win. Clark Gable plays rakish Barbary Coast kingpin Blackie Norton. Jeanette MacDonald portrays a singer torn by her love for Blackie and her need to succeed among the opera going elite. Earning the first of nine career Best Actor OscarÒ nominations, Spencer Tracy is a priest who supplements spiritual advice with a mean right hook. He urges Blackie to change. But if love and religion can't reform Blackie, the San Francisco earthquake might. This extravaganza's street-splitting, brick-cascading, fire-raging recreation of the cataclysmic earthquake remains "one of the greatest action sequences in the history of the cinema, rivaling the chariot race in both Ben-Hurs" (Adrian Turner, Time Out Film Guide).
DVD Special Features:
· Documentary profile Clark Gable: Tall, Dark & Handsome, hosted by Liam Neeson
· 2 vintage Fitzpatrick TravelTalk shorts:
o Cavalcade of San Francisco
o Night Descends on Treasure Island
· Classic cartoon Bottles
· Alternate ending
· Theatrical trailer
· Languages: English & Français
· Subtitles: English, Français & Español (feature film only)
Wife vs. Secretary (1936) New to DVD!
A romantic comedy again pairs Gable with some of Hollywood's hottest leading ladies. Gable and Harlow star together for the fifth time, this time joined by Myrna Loy ( in her fourth film with the leading man). This entertaining romp is the story of successful magazine publisher Van Stanhope (Gable), happily married to wife Linda (Loy), until his interfering mother-in-law plants the seed of suspicion, suggesting that Stan may be having an affair with his loyal and indispensable secretary Whitey (Harlow). The film also features James Stewart in one of his first roles, as Whitey's boyfriend.

L'ancêtre du film catastrophe ! Pas impérissable du tout en ce qui me concerne, mais quand même deux ou trois scènes plutôt impressionnantes pour l'époque, sans compter une interprétation costaud. Malheureusement...Geoffrey Firmin a écrit : San Francisco Van Dyke II

Re: CLARK GABLE: THE SIGNATURE COLLECTION le 20 juin
Apparemment Mogambo n'est pas sorti en Z1 ! LA Z2 aura été privilégiée pour une fois ! Sinon, je ne connais pas les autres films mais ils semblent recevoir un accueil mitigé des connaisseurs.Geoffrey Firmin a écrit : Mogambo (1953) NEW TO DVD!
J'en profite pour demander, si on a des infos concernant l'autre séducteur à moustache, Errol Flynn et surtout si on pourra esperer trouver "La piste de Santa Fé" dans le deuxième coffret promis.

Re: CLARK GABLE: THE SIGNATURE COLLECTION le 20 juin
Je comprend qu'on puisse trouver cette fin insupportable mais pour ma part, c'est un grand et jouissif moment de cinéma "over the top". Et les toutes dernières images sont très émouvantes, au premier degré.Margo a écrit :San Francisco Van Dyke II

Mais tout cela est écrasé par charme indéfinissable de Jeanette MacDonald, une star trop oubliée aujourd'hui et qui avait quand même les plus beaux yeux de l'histoire du cinéma. Rien que pour elle, je reverrai San Francisco en boucle...

Re: CLARK GABLE: THE SIGNATURE COLLECTION le 20 juin
L'autre fin n'en est pas vraiment une : c'est la même idée mais présentée différemment. Van Dyke a bien fait de choisir celle qui est restée qui est beaucoup plus forte dans sa forme.Geoffrey Firmin a écrit :Il y aura une autre fin proposée dans les bonus San Francisco.
Autrement, vu Dancing Lady avec Gable et Crawford.
C'est un véhicule pour Joan Crawford qui est dans presque tous les plans du film (en nuisette, maillot de bain, robe du soir, tenue de ville, jogging, tenue de scène et même en bavaroise...) : à 25 ans, elle est extraordinairement belle et le directeur photo en a profité un maximum. Pas étonnant que sa carrière ait décolé après ce film. Le couple qu'elle forme avec Gable est fabuleux : le public en a d'aileurs redemandé pour 8 films. L'histoire reprend le modèle des films musicaux de la Warner de la même époque (stage musical) avec une ouverture et une fin copiée sur Berkeley mais les morceaux musicaux faiblards et pas du tout à la hauteur de Warren & Dubin. Pas mal de jokes pré-code Hays. Première apparition au ciné de Fred Astaire dans le final avec Crawford et de Nelson Eddy (aïe, cette voix a bien vieilli). Pas un grand film mais pour le fans de glamour, le plaisir immense de voir Joan Crawford dans tout l'éclat de sa beauté hollywoodienne. DVD Z1 de très bonne qualité (image & son).
