TopBilled Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 CRITERION RELEASES FOR JANUARY BITTER RICE, Sylvana Mangano GILDA, Rita Hayworth Interesting to see Criterion take on GILDA. The Columbia Classics division of Sony released a restored version of the film a few years ago. Not sure how Criterion can improve upon that.

TopBilled Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 SEE BONUS FEATURES ADDED BELOW Thanks. I am glad people love Rita and love the movie (because I do as well), but I don't agree with some of the over-inflated praise. For one thing, I do not consider Rita Hayworth the Columbia lady. I reserve that title for Jean Arthur. And actually, none of these actresses spent their entire careers at Columbia. Rita was loaned out several times while under contract to Cohn, and after she left the studio she freelanced all over town and in Europe. The only Hollywood leading lady that spent her entire career at one studio was Vera Ralston. It is accurate to call her The Republic Lady. Because she was!

TopBilled Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Yes, Jean Arthur is THE Columbia lady and the favorite actress of Capra. That's interesting. I think her best films, though, are with George Stevens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedracer5 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 It looks like TCM is releasing two new TCM Greatest Classics collections on December 1.

Arturo Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Yes, Jean Arthur is THE Columbia lady and the favorite actress of Capra. While I love Jean Arthur, I feel Rita Hayworth has a.much better claim to."Columbia Lady". Jean starred there for approximately a decade, and she didn't film there exclusively, going on loan to the likes of Paramount and RKO. Rita was at Columbia for over 20 years, and was the studio's biggest star for most of the 40s and 50s. Harry Cohn also felt she was his prize star for most of this tenure.

As Frank Sinatra had said "Rita Hayworth is Columbia" and that is why he took second billing to her in PAL JOEY. I too love Jean Arthur but she mostly worked with Capra during the 30s at Columbia. I do not think she was ever the reining queen at Columbia although she was one of their biggest stars in the 1930s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopBilled Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Put that date down in error. Sometimes titles are reused in later years...but since I figured you were talking about the one starring Betty Field and Zachary Scott, I thought I would correct it.

So there should be a fair amount of renewed interest in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopBilled Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 It looks like CHRISTMAS EVE (1947), starring George Raft, George Brent and Randolph Scott is going to be released by Olive in mid-January. Too bad they didn't have it ready a month earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
