Editorial Review:
A CHRISTMAS CAROL (1938) Reginald Owen portrays Charles Dickens’ holiday humbug Ebenezer Scrooge, the miser’s miser who has a huge change of heart after spirits whisk him into the past, present and future. From sets to stars to story, this triumphant adaptation adds a glow to the season. Like Tiny Tim’s benediction, it blesses us – every one. CHRISTMAS IN CONNECTICUT (1945) A magazine columnist totally devoid of the homemaking skills espoused in her column had better get some fast: her boss has invited himself and a recently returned war hero to her home for Christmas. Laughs, romance, holiday cheer: that’s the recipe Barbara Stanwyck and a stellar company follow in this perennial favorite. IT HAPPENED ON 5TH AVENUE Home for the holidays! GI families hit by the post-World War II housing crunch take over an abandoned New York City mansion. THE SHOP AROUND THE CORNER In the third of their four screen pairings, Margaret Sullavan and James Stewart engage in retail romance wrapped in the ribbon of director Ernst Lubitsch’s trademark touch of wit and charm. They play bickering store clerks who are unknowingly secret pen pals. Your patronage will be cheerfully rewarded when you watch this enchanting tale.

Good price for 4 classic movies
2009-12-21 - I actually purchased the DVD for 'Christmas in Connecticut'. I had only seen it once but remember Barbara Stanwyck's performance. Saw the other one with Diane Cannon and IMO it was really lacking. 'Christmas in Connecticut' on this DVD is more believable and funny. 'The Shop Around the Corner' with Jimmy Stewart, what can I say, have always been a fan. Never heard of 'It Happened on 5th Avenue', it has been added to my special Christmas movie list. The story was very good and some of the actors went on to have their own television show. Finally, 'A Christmas Carol' 1938, great. The movies are old and were printed in black & white because at the time it cost too much to use color film. These movies are old Hollywood, with very sound, well known actors. All are classics. If that is what you are looking for, with a Christmas theme, this DVD is it.
very good quality
2009-12-14 - I enjoyed all the movies, but my favorite was It Happened on 5th Avenue. It makes you realize what "wealth" really is.
