Rented the Madacy transfer of this great classic from the library. The Madacy version is the one with the gold heading that says "Hollywood Classics" above a picture-in-picture of Cooper with his hand around Stanwyck's waist. Amazon has the date of release as 1998. The description of the movie found on the back cover is laughably misleading, (someone really put a lot of effort into that mumbo-jumbo, let me tell ya!) but I thought the picture and sound quality were quite decent, as good (or better, ...

The film starts with a name change: "The New Bulletin" has streamlined news and is cleaning out the old staff by the new owner.

A Frank Capra film of excellent quality and humanity. A fine story, a black & white film that takes me back to the 50's growing up withoout technicolor, and enjoying it!The film contains great actors & actresses. Made in the 1940's before my entrance into this world, you'll enjoy this classic movie.
I purchased a used copy at a low price and watch the film two or three times annually. Great entertainment from the Golden Age of filmmaking.

BTW, while waiting for delivery, I checked out a DVD from the local public library which was decent. Only the occasional jump. Decent sound too. [...]

I would love to go back to the time this film came out and see it with the eyes of the public then. It must have been really something. To us, it's an interesting piece of film history--we know what to expect when we see Capra's name and we can enjoy it in a different way.
I'm mostly a sucker for Capra's corn but I admit that I had a hard time during some of the more rousing messages. I tended to roll my eyes like the great Walter Brennan character, the bum, who just wants John to hit ... Read More
