The Carole Lombard Glamorous Collection is a wonderful combination of Carole Lombard classics that were forgotten about for a long time. Man of the World is probably the least of the six films but is still interesting. William Powell plays a blackmailer that falls in love with beautiful heiress Carole Lombard. They fall in love but William Powell's lies and deceit drive a wedge between them. We're Not Dressing is a cute film with Bing Crosby as the likeable smart-aleck and Carole Lombard as the stubborn spoiled woman forced together by shipwreck that lands them on a deserted island. There a few songs too many though. Hands Across the Table is by far the best film of the six, it is very funny and charming with Fred Macmurray and Carole Lombard as two people kidding themselves that they could marry other people for money and not love, but when Lombard takes Macmurray in as boarder they fall in love and question their life's quest for money. Love Before Breakfast is a decent film with a rich playboy vying for Lombard's hand by doing anything he can including sending her fiancee out of the country for a better job. The Princess Comes Across is one of the better films with Lombard posing as a princess and Fred Macmurray a teasing concertina player, this film is a comedy with a noir/murder mystery twist to it when a blackmailer turns up dead in Lombard's room. True Confession is also a very good film with (once again) Carole Lombard and Fred Macmurray. In this film Lombard and Macmurray are already married and struggling financially. Carole Lombard plays a scatterbrained liar that comes up with some very wild stories including one lie that her lawyer husband is insane and believes that the typewriter is his baby. But her lies go too far when she becomes a murder suspect and admits to a crime with a false story that she didnt commit. I highly recommend this collection for people like me who love and watch only old old 30's and 40's movies!Read full review
When you watch a movie that was released 50 plus years ago. You will return back into the past, where every possible emotional connection, is portrayed for an audience to experience. Finding these wonderful classic films, but more importantly, owning them, is such a challenge today as our technologies have advanced to the point where this history is disappearing. Carole Lombard was an actress whose films were cherished by millions when going to a theater was the only way someone could see a film..This box set is well worth the purchase, you will find yourself watching these movies again and again as you find yourself transcended back to a time that once was.

I have been a fan of carol Lombard since I first saw her as a boy growing up in a small town. she was and is a first rate entertainer. her acting style ranged from coy to sultry. an engaging good bad girl; sometimes sweet, sometimes hard. but always alluring. she exuded charm and sex appeal without really trying. it just seemed natural for her.

Have always known of Carole Lombard and the love story she shared with Clark Gable and her tragic ending. I wanted to ‘get to know her’ through her movies and this collection was above and beyond my expectations. Carole was so far ahead of her time. Beautiful, sassy and genuine cared for people. Enjoyed immensely!
