(1968), Kramer vs. Kramer (1979) Gandhi (1982). directed by Richard Attenborough (2 discs) The description of extras is all jumbled together in the press release, but this is what goes with what, the best that I can figure: DVD Features Extras for Gandhi: An Introduction from Lord Richard Attenborough The Funeral The Making of Gandhi Photo Montage The Words Of Mahatma Gandhi Milestones in the Life of Gandhi Gandhi weblink Ben Kingsley talks about Gandhi Designing Gandhi Lord Attenborough Audio Commentary From the Director's Chair In Search of Gandhi Madeleine Slade: An Englishwoman Abroad Reflections on Ben Shooting an Epic in India Extras for A Man For all Seasons: The Life of Saint Thomas More Extras for Lawrence of Arabia: A Conversation with Steven Speilberg Making of Lawrence of Arabia Maan, Jordan: The Camels Are Cast Featurette Romance of Arabia Featurette Original Newsreel Footage of the New York Premiere Advertising Campaigns Extras on It Happened One Night: Commentary by Frank Capra Jr. Frank Capra Jr. Remembers... "It Happened One Night" Vintage Advertising Extras for Bridge Over the River Kwai: Rise and Fall of a Jungle Giant Exclusive Documentary - Adaptation of Boulle's novel, casting, history of production, score, release, restoration and more. Vintage Newsreel footage An Appreciation by John Milius By going back and checking extras on existing releases, this appears to be a repackaging of stock, with no new releases just for this collection. Also, this list of extras may be incomplete, because some films do have extras on their DVDs that are not listed in the product description I have seen. For example, the current release of Kramer vs. Kramer has a "Making Of" documentary that is not listed in the press release for this set. This does appear to be a complete collection of Academy Award winners by Sony/Columbia, with the exception of The Last Emperor, which is currently on DVD via the Criterion Collection. Double dips could occur if you already own The Premiere Frank Capra Collection (Mr. Smith Goes to Washington / It Happened One Night / You Can't Take It with You / Mr. Deeds Goes to Town / American Madness / Frank Capra's American Dream), which would cause you to purchase "It Happened One Night" and "You Can't Take it With You" twice. There is also the The David Lean Collection (Lawrence of Arabia / The Bridge on the River Kwai / A Passage to India) as well as the WWII 60th Anniversary Collection (The Guns of Navarone/From Here to Eternity/The Bridge on the River Kwai) (Includes Collectible Scrapbook). All of these collections overlap with the new Bst Pictures Collection.
