New on Blu-ray: THE GREAT ZIEGFELD (1936) Starring William Powell, Myrna Loy & Luise Rainer

BUY FROM AMAZON

Product Description: This 1936 Best Picture Oscar® winner is every bit extravagant as its subject: theatrical empresario Florence Ziegfeld, Jr. Said Newsweek, “it carries on his tradition of superlatives: the most expensive actors, the best dancers, the most beautiful girls…“ William Powell gives one of his most acclaimed performances as the legendary Ziegfeld. Joining him are other stars from the MGM constellation: Myrna Loy (Powell‘s partner in The Thin Man series), Luise Rainer (the portrayal that won her the first of two consecutive Oscars®), The Wizard of Oz’s Frank Morgan and Ray Bolger, and, in a rare screen appearance, the legendary Ziegfeld star Fannie Brice (whose life story would later become the stage and movie hit Funny Girl). Of course, it wouldn’t be Ziegfeld without a parade of tunes (more than 20!), Showgirls (more than 300!) and dazzling set pieces. Most spectacular of all is the massive “wedding cake“ sequence said to Irving Berlin’s “A Pretty Girl is Like a Melody“. No applause was added to the soundtrack of this scene. Live audiences, provided plenty… and still do!

Product Description: Clark Gable shares the spotlight with Jean Harlow and Myrna Loy in this classic M-G-M romantic comedy of errors. It is no holds barred after a secretary answers a telephone call from her boss's wife--in his hotel room.

Van Stanhope (Gable) adores his wife, Linda (Loy), and she remains blissfully free of jealousy for Van's beautiful, blonde secretary, played by Jean Harlow, who is happy with her boyfriend, Dave (played by a young James Stewart). But Linda's mother (May Robson) has been planting the seeds of marital suspicion in Linda's ear, and when Harlow innocently flies to Havana to deliver important documents to Van--and just as innocently answers the telephone in Van's hotel room--Linda assumes the worst. Havoc ensues as Linda goes all out to win back the man she never lost.

The debonair sleuths leave little Nicky Jr. at boarding school, grab Asta and head to Nick's boyhood home of Sycamore Springs.

As is Nora (Myrna Loy), wrestling a folding lawn chair, tailing a presumed suspect through town, igniting a pool-hall rumble and cracking wise as goodas she gets. Make yourself at home, whodunit fans!

Product Description: It is New Years Eve, Nick and Nora Charles have returned to the West Coast, and the philandering hubby of Noras cousin has gone missing. Round up the unusual suspects. The stars (including the four-footed one!), writers and director of The Thin Man reunite for a giddy second comedy whodunit. Myrna Loy is Nora, who by all accounts does not scold, does not nag and looks far too pretty in the morning. William Powell is Nick, retired from sleuthing but hardly retiring when it comes to a case more scrambled than the 3 A.M. eggs he whips up. And rising star James Stewart leads a tip-top supporting cast. This is a fine way to start the New Year, Nick says, as he springs Nora from lockup. Indeed, it is.

He took 12 days. They didn't call him One-Take Woody for nothing.
