TCM Greatest Classic Films Collection: Best Picture Winners (Casablanca / Gigi / An American in Paris / Mrs. Miniver)

Description

Turner Classic Movies’ Greatest Classic Films
Collection: Best Picture Winners collects four movies on two double-sided
discs, with top picture quality and the bonus features that appeared on disc 1
when three of those films were released on two-disc sets. Often cited as the
best movie of all time, Casablanca (1942) pairs the tragic lovers Humphrey
Bogart and Ingrid Bergman on the eve of World War II, and the movie is
accompanied by commentary tracks from Rogert Ebert and from historian Rudy
Behlmer and an introduction by Lauren Bacall. Also taking place during the war
is Mrs. Miniver (1942), starring Oscar winner Greer Garson as a woman on the
British homefront. Bonus features are Garson at the Academy Awards, a photo
gallery, and two shorts. Together on the second disc are two famous MGM
musicals directed by Vincente Minnelli: Gigi (1958), starring Leslie Caron,
Maurice Chevalier, Hermione Gingold, and Louis Jordan, and An American in
Paris (1951), starring Gene Kelly, Caron, Oscar Levant, and Georges Guetary in
a Gershwin extravaganza. Bonus features for the movies include commentary
tracks by historian Jeanine Basinger with contributions by Caron, and by host
Patricia Ward intercut with vintage interviews of Kelly, Minnelli, and others,
as well as two shorts and two cartoons. –David Horiuchi
