Columbia has announced a new entry in its line of Columbia Classics, a selection of films that get the 4K Blu-ray treatment and are packaged inside of a deluxe box set. For this release, Columbia has reached into its archive for its fifth volume, and this six-movie set will contain A Man For All Seasons, Little Women (2019), The Age of Innocence, Tootsie, On The Waterfront, and All the King’s Men. The collection launches October 1 and preorders are available now at Amazon.
The entire package is $216, but the price is worth it, considering just how much content you’re getting in the box. In addition to the six award-winning films in the set, there’ll also be over 20 hours of new and archival special features, commentary tracks, deleted scenes, making-of documentaries, and much more. Columbia is also including an extra disc featuring four Columbia Pictures silent films from the 1920s; Ladies of Leisure, The Desert Bride, The Scarlet Lady, and The Belle of Broadway.
These are some great classics in the collection, showcasing a wide variety of genres in Columbia Studio’s film catalog. On the Waterfront stars Marlon Brando as a washed-up boxer mixed up in the dirty business of unions, Greta Gerwig’s 2019 adaptation of Little Women features an all-star cast, and Tootsie sees Dustin Hoffman create a female alter-ego to help him land a job in the cutthroat world of acting.
