New Update on the Ford at Fox box Set
From Davekehr.com an update on the Ford at Fox boxed set:
Courtesy of John Hodson’s blog at Film Journal, some more details about the big Fox Box o’Ford that I’m looking forward to with probably excessive expectations. John reprints a press release from Movies Unlimited:
FORD HAD A BETTER IDEA: The diverse works of the great John Ford are on view in an incredible schedule of releases from Fox Video called The Ford At Fox Collection. This celebration of the master director’s labors for the studio will bring us many flicks from his folio that have never before surfaced in any home video format, much less on DVD.Most people know John Ford as the director behind such John Wayne classics as Stagecoach, Fort Apache, The Searchers, and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. But “Pappy’s” career encompassed several decades, beginning in the silent era. He worked on all sorts of films in all genres, which is evidenced in this impressive collection.
The Essential John Ford includes the currently available The Grapes Of Wrath, How Green Was My Valley, My Darling Clementine, and Drums Along The Mohawk, as well as the new documentary Becoming John Ford.
John Ford’s American Comedies includes Doctor Bull (1933), with Will Rogers as a country doctor whose affair with a widow causes waves in the area;
and Judge Priest (1934), with Will as a judge trying to help his nephew find a girl and preside over a big case at the same time.
When Willie Comes Marching Home(1950) offers Dan Dailey as a war hero whose reassignment to his hometown cause problems;
and the prison break comedy-drama Up The River (1930) offers very early career showcases for Spencer Tracy and Humphrey Bogart.
The previously available What Price Glory? and Steamboat ‘Round The Bend are also included.
John Ford’s Silent Epics includes Four Sons (1928), about how war affects a Bavarian mother and her quartet of boys; The Iron Horse (1924), a thrilling tale of building a railroad and a son’s vengeance for his father’s murder; 3 Bad Men (1926), where a trio of outlaws help a young woman when her father is killed; Hangman’s House (1928), a tale of a no-nonsense judge who meddles in his family’s affairs (look closely for John Wayne!); and Just Pals (1920), with cowboy star Buck Jones in a change-of-pace role as a ne’er-do-well who befriends a young boy who has been thrown off a freight train.
When Willie Comes Marching Home, The Iron Horse, Hangman’s House, 3 Bad Men, and Up The River will be available individually,
as well as The Prisoner Of Shark Island (1936), centering on the doctor (Warner Baxter) who treated Lincoln assassin John Wilkes Booth, and his ordeals in prison;
Pilgrimage (1933), in which a mother who disapproves of her son’s marriage enlists him in the army with disastrous results; and
Born Reckless (1930), starring Edmund Lowe as the gangster who takes military service over a jail term and becomes a war hero.
The big shebang, however, is the voluminous Ford At Fox: Gift Set. ALL of the aforementioned Ford films are included, PLUS the following: The currently available Young Mr. Lincoln;
Tobacco Road (1941), Erskine Caldwell’s rustic satire;
the Shirley Temple vehicle Wee Willie Winkie (1937);
the Madeleine Carroll costumer The World Moves On (1934);
the WWI submarine saga Seas Beneath (1931);
and the Loretta Young-David Niven adventure Four Men And A Prayer (1938).
For good measure, you’ll be able to compare My Darling Clementine to Frontier Marshal (1939), Allan Dwan’s take on the Wyatt Earp legend starring Randolph Scott.
These 25 films are contained on 20 DVDs in their own screw-bound folder. You’ll also get a hardback 172-page book, reproductions of souvenir books for The Iron Horse and Four Sons, and a separately packaged Becoming John Ford documentary, all packaged in a heavy duty vinyl box. This is easily one of the most impressive DVD packages of the year, if not ever!
As you see, it’s not quite the complete collection of Ford’s Fox films that was promised early on, but it still sounds invaluable, and clearly marks a big step forward in Fox’s ambitions for its library titles.

I'm still up for the big shebang set as I only own two of those films on commercial release at this point - THE GRAPES OF WRATH and DRUMS ALONG THE MOHAWK. Have several others on DVD-R...but would love to have commercial releases!
I am hoping that they do some work on UP THE RIVER - the copies of that film that are floating around are not generally the best.

I heard the whole set will retail around $300. I never thought I would say this about dvds, but I will be getting this. I am so excited about it, too. I have not seen probably half of the titles in the set. I have several of the biggies already, but will be happy to pass them along to my Mom.
This, and the news that Drums Along the Mohawk will be shown at the NY Film Fest at Lincoln Center has made my week!!

Many thanks, Lynn.
It's interesting that the My Darling Clementine disc seems identical to the one that is already out, except that it eliminates the fascinating commentary by Scott Eyman! Wyatt Earp Numero Tres' comments are, for the most part, in my opinion, quite negligible and interesting only because he's a relative of the genuine article.
I'm almost weak with anticipation about this set.

I watched " The World Moves On ", from the Ford collection last night, a very good film about a family with relatives in the US & Europe from 1825 to the 1930's.An anti - war film, also anti - greed ! Members of " the Military - Industrial Complex " wont like it. The US SEnate Nye Hearing must have been going on at this time with its theme of " the Merchants of Death ".

No! Consarnit! (As Bronxgirl would say). I seem to be one of the last to order it and so I'm last to receive it from Barnes & Noble. It might come today but I'm betting on tomorrow. And I'm not sure when I'll be able to watch any of them---maybe not until late Saturday night because I'm babysitting all day Saturday. Well, I guess I could pop in Wee Willie Winkie!movieman1957 wrote:Has yours arrived yet? Did you have to get another cabinet to hold 21 DVDs?MissGoddess wrote:
