James Stewart: The Signature Collection

Last Minute Sales & Specials

In his early years, Jimmy Stewart came to personify the Everyman. "Hollywood dishes out too much praise for small things," Jimmy once said. "I won't let it get me, but too much praise can turn a fellow's head if he doesn't watch his step." - Through a Hollywood career spanning 50 years James Stewart has thrilled, touched and delighted audiences with over 80 films. Six of those films are now available on DVD in the all new "James Stewart: The Signature Collection." Includes "The Cheyenne Social Club" / Fire Creek," "The FBI Story," "The Naked Spur," "The Spirit Of St. Louis" and "The Stratton Story." "The Cheyenne Social Club" / "Fire Creek" - They can be tough as leather. Or as down-home as any pair of good ol' boys. Either way, there's a sense of warm respect between the two stars. The off-camera friendship of James Stewart and Henry Fonda goes back to their days as struggling actors and roommates. "The Cheyenne Social Club" (Side A) casts them as saddle-weary Texans who, surprised to find they've inherited a Wyoming bawdy house, feel honor-bound to defend it against a gun-wielding gang. Gene Kelly produces and directs this mix of fun and Western action. Next comes a firestorm of character-driven excitement in "Firecreek" (Side B). Fonda plays an outlaw preying on small towns, and Stewart is the jittery, $2-a-month part-time lawman who must find the courage to stop him. This will be some showdown! "The FBI Story" - American movie icon James Stewart portrays one of J. Edgar Hoover's finest and Vera Miles co-stars as his steadfast wife in this salute to the "Federal Bureau Of Investigation." The colorful career of Agent Chip Hardesty (Stewart) covers 1924 to the late '50s. Along the way he tangles with everything from the Ku Klux Klan to a bomber who commits mass murder for insurance money. His fiercest exploits come in the '30s when he stares down a gun barrel at Baby Face Nelson, Pretty Boy Floyd, Machine Gun Kelly, Ma Barker and John Dillinger.
