Coming to DVD: Jean Arthur Drama Collection

TCM recently announced the upcoming release of the Jean Arthur Drama Collection.

This four-film set will be released on May 7th. The titles included will be WHIRLPOOL (1934) and THE DEFENSE RESTS (1934), both costarring Jack Holt; THE MOST PRECIOUS THING IN LIFE (1934) with Richard Cromwell and Anita Louise; and PARTY WIRE (1935) with Victor Jory.

I reviewed PARTY WIRE in 2008. The film was an interesting time capsule with the story hinging on a type of technology radically different from today's cell phone world.

All four films are restored and remastered.

The box cover art is not yet final; I'll update it when it's available. (April 2012 Update: The final cover art is now seen above in this post.)

Last fall TCM released the Jean Arthur Comedy Collection.
