Fondly remember
one of the most beloved actors of
the 20th century in this deluxe set
of six winning film performances.
See how this all-American favorite
inhabited every role—from comedy
to drama and cowboy to American
hero. Relive his classic portrayal of
aviator Charles Lindbergh in The
Spirit of St. Louis directed by Billy
Wilder. Cheer one of baseball’s
greatest pitchers in The Stratton
Story. Visit the Old West along with co-star Henry Fonda in The
Cheyenne Social Club and Firecreek, as well as with Janet Leigh in The
Naked Spur. And marvel at the gritty action in The FBI Story. If you
loved him in It’s a Wonderful Life, Rear Window and The Philadelphia
Story, you’ll truly relish this five-disc signature collection.
Includes the following titles:
The Cheyenne Social Club: John is working as a cow poke for very little money with his friend Harley when he gets word his brother, DJ, has left him The Cheyenne Social Club. He and Harley ride for nearly a thousand miles to his inheritance only to find he is now the owner of a first class brothel.
Firecreek: The folk of small western town Firecreek stand up for their rights after gunmen abuse them, leading to an extravagant final battle between good-guy Jimmy Stewart and bad-guy Henry Fonda.
FBI Story: The story of the FBI unfolds through the eyes of one of its agents. During his career he investigates gangsters, swindlers, the Klu Klux Klan, Nazi agents and cold war spies.
The Naked Spur: A bitter Howard Kemp heads westward to the Rockies from Abilene, Kansas on the trail of murderer Ben Vandergroat and the $5000 reward on Vandergroat's head, money after which Kemp lusts in order to re-purchase the ranch that his absconding fiancée had sold during his stint in the army. Kemp unexpectedly crosses paths with an old, star-crossed gold miner, Jesse Tate, and with a recently discharged soldier of questionable repute, Roy Anderson. Teaming up, they nab Vandergroat and his girl, Lina Patch, but Vandergroat tries to turn his three distrustful, avaricious captors against each other during the return trip.
The Spirit of St. Louis: Biography of Charles Lindburgh from his days of precarious mail runs in aviation's infancy to his design of a small transatlantic plane and the vicissitudes of its takeoff and epochal flight from New York to Paris in 1927.
The Stratton Story: The movie is about Chicago White Sox pitcher Monty Stratton (Jimmy Stewart), who in the 1930s compiled a 37-19 won-loss record in three seasons. After he became the winningest right-hander in the American League, his major league career ended prematurely when a hunting accident in 1938 forced doctors to amputate his right leg. With a wooden leg and his wife Ethel's (June Allyson) help, Stratton made a successful minor league comeback in 1946, continuing to pitch in minor leagues throughout the rest of the 1940s and into the 1950s.
