Contents: So This is Love (1928), Submarine (1928), That Certain Thing (1928), The Way of the Strong (1928), Flight (1929), The Younger Generation (1929), Ladies of Leisure (1930), Rain or Shine (1930), Dirigible (1931), The Miracle Woman (1931), Platinum Blonde (1931), American Madness (1932), The Bitter Tea of General Yen (1932), Forbidden (1932), Lady for a Day (1933), It Happened One Night (1934), Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (1936), Lost Horizon (1937), You Can’t Take It with You (1938), Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) and Frank Capra: Mr. America (2024).
This 28-disc boxset collection ignores these Capra Columbia silent era releases that have survived: The Matinee Idol (1928), The Power of the Press (1928) and The Donovan Affair (1929). Say It with Sables (1928) is presumed lost.
In addition to Blu-ray Disc editions, these titles are also included in UltraHD 4K editions: Submarine (1928), The Younger Generation (1929), Dirigible (1931), Platinum Blonde (1931), It Happened One Night (1934), Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (1936), Lost Horizon (1937), You Can’t Take It with You (1938) and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939).
