By the time James Stewart returned from World War II he was a changed man. The horrors that he witnessed in the war almost made him give up acting because he conception it might be too trivial a profession. Luckily for us he didn’t. Ironically, it deepened his art as an actor and this terrific boxed spot has five of Stewart’s greatest movies with four from the latter fragment of his career and one early classic.

Hitchcock found in Stewart the quintessential American hero. Originally, Cary Grant wanted the role in “Vertigo”. Hitchcock knew he was absolutely wicked for the role and turned to the only actor that could describe both the world weariness, sense of obsession and the longing needed for the role of Scotty the police officer who develops a panic of heights after when he nearly dies in pursuit of a criminal. Scotty retires prematurely from the force but is hired by a college friend Gavin Elster (Tom Helmore) to follow his wife Madeline (Kim Novak) . It seems she has become obsessed with the fact that she is the reincarnation of an ancestor who went insane and died. Gavin believes that she possibly may damage herself. Scotty saves her from drowning and gradually falls in treasure with her when tragedy strikes him again.
Brilliantly restored, Hitchcock’s “Vertigo” is one of his best films and features one of Stewart’s best performances. Highly recommended.The widescreen anamorphic transfer looks resplendent with the restoration reclaiming the lost, rich colors of the film. Re-released to theaters and on DVD in the tedious 90’s, the film smooth looks much considering how badly it had musty.

There’s an challenging commentary by associate producer Herbert Coleman, restoration producers James Katz, Robert Harris and Steven Smith the author of a book on music composer Bernard Herrmann. We fetch an alternate European ending that has never been seen in the US, storyboards, production drawings, advertising materials and “Obsessed with Vertigo” a stout AMC documentary narrated by Roddy McDowall produced in 1999.
“Rear Window” stars Stewart as L.B. Jeffries a photography confined to a wheelchair with two broken legs due to an accident while shooting a bustle. His girlfriend Lisa (the extraordinary and magnificent Grace Kelly) stops by to retain him company from time to time. Jeffries becomes fixated on his neighbors in the apartment building he lives in observing their lives from his aid window. When he sees suspicious behavior by one of his neighbors (Raymond Burr) suggesting that he has murdered his wife and and Lisa become amateur sleuths to try and resolve if, indeed, the woman was murdered and why.
Another gracious restoration, “Rear Window” doesn’t quite peek as radiant as “Vertigo” but then the film’s spend of color wasn’t as impressive as Hitch’s ultimate masterpiece. Nevertheless, the restoration adds lost luster to a classic that had disintergrated considerably while Hitch retained ownership of it. It’s a worthy movie and one of Hitch’s and Stewart’s best. Extras include a featurette with writer John Michael hayes, “Rear Window Ethics” which discusses the restoring of the film, production photos and a re-release trailer narrated by James Stewart. there’s also a DVD-Rom which has the recent script (which is expansive since the copy I had obtained years ago from the UCLA library is broken-down beyond opinion) .
“Winchester ‘73″ is one of director Anthony Mann’s best westerns and helped bring the genre wait on into vogue with its success in the 50’s. Stewart plays Lin McAdam who engages in a marksmenship contest with rival he has been hunting named Dutch Henry Brown (Stephen McNally) for a novel Winchester rifle. McAdam wins the rifle only to have it stolen by Brown. McAdam pursues Brown to reclaim the rifle, decide a quarrel and, ultimately, face him in a memorably shot note down.
The transfer looks quite top-notch for “Winchester ‘73″ but it’s distinct that the source transfer was the same laserdisc master that the audio commentary track featuring Stewart was recorded for in 1989. It looks quite great but could observe noteworthy more impressive.
Finally we derive Stewart with Marlene Dietrich in the early classic western (1939) “Destry Rides Again”. This western classic combines comedy and drama in a novel winning package. Unfortunately, the DVD transfer here is handsome dreadful. The print has feeble signficiantly (no chance to restore the negative either as Universal had many of their negatives dropped in the Pacific during a bonehead administration in the slack 40’s) but there was the possibility of restoring the print from other prints available around the world like “Vertigo” and “Rear Window” Sadly, this doesn’t happen here. Detached, it’s a broad miniature gem of a film. Unfortunately, there’s no extras with this disc.
There’s the round up of a series of classic Stewart films in this boxed place. Each is packaged individually in their believe case (and can be purchased that design as well) .
James Stewart won over the masses with a speak and shrimp dispute, a safe guy image, and some endearingly ordinary salubrious looks.
And he also had a long and celebrated career, with everything from suspense to westerns to… giant white rabbits. “The James Stewart Hollywood Epic Collection” brings together five of his best known movies in pristine condition, although it could have primitive a tad more diversity.
“Vertigo” afflicts James “Scottie” Ferguson after a traumatic event on a rooftop, forcing him to retire. But when an outmoded classmate asks him to investigate his wife Madeleine’s (Kim Novak) exclusive behavior, Scottie agrees. When he falls in esteem with the woman — and loses her to suicide — Scottie begins to pursue a woman who is her mirror image, as he descends into madness…
“Rear Window” is a somewhat less plain Hitchcock movie. L.B. Jeffries has a heinous broken leg, so he’s stuck in a wheelchair. He passes the time by spying on his neighbors, and contemplating his inequity with his glorious rich girlfriend (Grace Kelly) . But L.B. spots someone acting suspiciously, and believes that the man has murdered his wife…
“Harvey” remains one of the most attractive movies to reach out of Hollywood. Elwood P. Dowd is a sweet, considerate man who has a giant white rabbit (invisible, of course) named Harvey as his companion. Unfortunately, it’s driving his sister Veta (Josephine Hul) and niece Myrtle May (Victoria Horne) completely nuts. Soon a bunch of mental health professionals are after Elwood… but is he crazy, or has he honest found a arrangement to be happier than everyone else?
Apparently Stewart was searching for something a dinky less cuddly than his past roles, so he tried out westerns with a noir sensibility. “Winchester ‘73″ is a gun that Lin McAdam wins in a shooting contest, and which is soon stolen by his rival, Dutch Henry Brown (McNally) . Since McAdams already has a grudge against McNally, he goes on an obsessive quest to derive his gun succor… no matter what.
But he had done some previous western roles, like in “Destry Rides Again.” It takes site in the town of Bottleneck, whose sheriff has unbiased died in suspicious circumstances. The town abominable guy (Brian Donlevy) arranges for a drunk to be the fresh sheriff — but the modern sheriff brings in Tom Destry, the mild-mannered son of a local hero. And Tom Destry is going to orderly up the town of Bottleneck… in his occupy original intention.
There aren’t really any flaws with this collection, in terms of the movies’ quality — all of them were shimmering in their respective ways. The only dilemma is that it doesn’t really give a sight of all the roles that Stewart could do; for example, he was also enormous in romantic comedies like “Philadelphia Record.” So where is it?
But whatever movies he was in, Stewart was outstanding as a wry photographer, a lovable “nut,” an unstable detective, and two cowboys. He nailed every one of those roles, no matter how unfamiliar or creepy. He’s deeply unsettling in “Vertigo” and “Winchester 73,” likably crusty in “Rear Window,” and completely lovable in “Harvey.” You cherish him or despise him as his character demands.
And the movies themselves are top-notch: two are vintage Hitchcock, and one had the modern twist of taking location entirely in one room. They’re all well-written and intelligent; wry humor is peppered through them, giving Stewart some of the best lines (”I’ve wrestled with reality for 35 years, Doctor, and I’m ecstatic to place I finally won out over it!”) .
James Stewart’s capable acting is on point to in the “James Stewart Hollywood Fable Collection,” which shows us some of the films that made him a Hollywood tale.
