 A great collection of James Stewart moviesJun 14, 2007
By calvinnme
This is a great collection of James Stewart's finest non-Hitchcock performances in films under the control of Universal Studios that span thirty years in his career. The price is excellent, but the trade-off is that you don't get much in the way of extras. In fact, all you get are theatrical trailers on a couple of the movies.
Shenandoah (1965) is a film about the Anderson family of Virginia, which is living a happy life on their family farm when the Civil War breaks out. They are convinced this skirmish has nothing to do with them, but they are soon to find out otherwise. Stewart certainly gives one of the performances of his career in this one.
The Glenn Miller Story (1953) reteams James Stewart with June Allyson, who were so good in "The Stratton Story", in a similar film about a man with great talent whose career was cut short by tragedy. Miller has always been ranked as one of the great swing bandleaders of the late thirties to middle forties era, and this film is a great tribute to his life and work. A great performance from all involved.
Thunder Bay (1953) is set in the post-World War II era, but in many ways it is another James Stewart western. Stewart portrays ex-Navy engineer Steve Martin who wants to design a safe off-shore oil drilling platform. Instead of the cattlemen versus the sheepherders, in this film we have the oil drillers versus the fishermen who see their way of life threatened. Stewart seems a less sympathetic figure here than he does in most of his films, but he handles the role wonderfully.
You Gotta Stay Happy (1948) is the lighter side of Stewart. This one is "It Happened One Night" meets "The Bride Came C.O.D" as a wealthy girl hides aboard Stewart's plane when she gets a case of the immediate post-wedding jitters. What results is a screwball comedy that predictably ends in the wealthy girl (Joan Fontaine) and Stewart's character falling in love. The plot is not that intriguing, but Stewart is charming as always. This is probably the weakest of the five films.
Next Time, We Love (1936) is a very early Stewart film that really gave him his first big break with a leading role. In this film he was teamed with Margaret Sullivan, and together they play a couple that marries on impulse and then begin pursuing their own individual careers - she is an actress, he is a journalist. Conflict develops when her career takes off and his does not. This film is very typical of those melodramas that were so common in the 1930's, but it is still interesting to see what Stewart does with this early role in his career. Stewart and Sullivan have a better chance to show off their chemistry in 1938's "Shopworn Angel", but that film was made by MGM and is therefore not in this collection.

very good value even considering the duplication....4+starsJun 12, 2007
By Richardson
"Clarence"
5 Jimmy Stewart films for about $4 each is hard to not give a 5 star rating to. 3 of these films are seeing their DVD debut (unlike the John Wayne set that came out today with all 5 already being available individually). I am already owner of The GLenn Miller Story and SHenandoah as many Jimmy STewart fans must and still consider this a good purchase. The three movies new to DVD all have merit and span a 20 year range from his first leading role in 1936 ("Next TIme We Love" where he mentions lindberghs flight to Paris in his first lines)to "Thunder Bay" in 1953. This was Universals first widescreen film and directed by Anthony Mann. I am a big fan of all the Mann/Stewart films and this one is terrific.
Bottom line...if you don't own any and are a Jimmy Stewart fan...whopeee!
If you do own a couple...its still a good deal.
PS..these 5 films are on 3 DVDs but NO FLIPPERS...one sided dual layers!

 The movies do not contain chapters.Feb 03, 2008
By scesq

I am a big fan of Jimmy Stewart. I like most all of his movies.
My big problem with this collection is there are no chapters in the dvd's. One of the reasons I like dvd's is they allow me to quickly find my favorite scenes in a movie. For instance in the Glenn Miller story I would like to be able to quickly find some of the scenes where the band is playing.
This a great collection at a great price and you can't go wrong watching most anything by Jimmy Stewart but if you like chapters in your dvd's you will be disappointed.

A highly recommended collection of films.Mar 11, 2012
By M. SKIADA
Being a great fan of Ray Milland, I bought this collection for just one of the films included in same, namely "Next time we love". It is an early film in both J.Stewart's and R.Milland's careers, and I enjoyed it immensely. Ray is handsome as a fairy tale prince in it, and his performance is already wonderfully balanced, charming and unaffected. I found J.Steward's performance very spontaneous, but also a little clumsy at times, while Margaret Sullavan was very convincing in her role...
I liked also the light comedy "You Gotta Stay Happy", with Joan Fontaine, but I have not seen yet the other three films so my review is incomplete. Since these films are well known , however, I think that they will be appreciated by all J.Stewart fans . The important thing is that the collection is very well made, the quality of picture and sound is excellent, and the price asked for the five films contained in 2 DVDs is very reasonable. So I highly recommend it and I only wish that a similar collection were made for some of Ray Milland's films that have never officially appeared in DVD form.
