 A True Gold Box Treasure! November 8, 2008
Lynn Ellingwood (Webster, NY United States)
I bought this as a Gold Box special one day. What a treasure! The movies contained in this set were some of the greatest Cary Grant movies ever! They were all made at Columbia in the late 30s and early 1940. They are all wonderful and have a diverse variety. Several are plays - Holiday and The Talk of the Town are George Stevens plays and have similar dialogue styles. Talk of the Town deals with a Supreme Court judge and an escaped accused murder and arsonist who's innocent. Where is the human side of the law? Holiday is about a wealthy family trying to find room in their family for a working class Cary Grant as a son-in-law. Can they manage? His Girl Friday is one of the greatest screwball comedies. Better than Bringing Up Baby in my opinion. The Awful Truth is about a couple who take up divorce as more as a lark than a reality. The last is Only Angels Have Wings, an exciting, romantic movie that has it all! Lots of fun with Jean Arthur and Rita Hayworth as his former love. Don't miss that movie! Sparks fly! Buy this collection soon.
The Best Cary Grant Set Ever! November 3, 2008
Russell G. Paquette (Los Angeles)
Four Cary Grant classics plus one not in the same league but interesting ("The Talk of the Town") make this set the one to have. Put it alongside your "Gunga Din," "The Philadelphiea Story,"Operation Petticoat," "To Catch a Thief," "Notorious," "My Favorite Wife" and "North by Northwest" DVDs and congratulate yourself on your impeccable taste.
A GREAT COLLECTION FOR FANS OF GRANT! September 15, 2008

I found this box set for under $20.00, which is a bargain for 5 films of this quality. I never saw many of Mr. Grants films when I was growing up, but I do like films from all genres, so I figured I'd give this box set a chance. My parents are up for a visit and since they grew up with these pictures, I thought this would be the time to watch them. I was able to get the perspective of people familiar with them and from people who weren't. I will review each film as I watch them and add the rating to this review and review the films on their individual releases.
1) Holiday - 3 stars
2) His Girl Friday - 4 1/2 stars
3) The Talk Of The Town - 3 1/2 stars
4) Only Angels Have Wings - 4 stars
5) The Awful Truth - 4 stars
