This Signature Series effectively brings together some stellar examples of the suave, urbane sophistication and light-hearted gracious humor that was Cary Grant. However, the absence of “Bringing Up Baby” and “Dream Wife” from this DVD collection is - quite simply - inexcusable! Having said that, this box situation is comprised of 3 hilarious comedies (Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House, My Celebrated Wife, The Bachelor and the Bobby-soxer), one highly toothsome musical (Night & Day) and one thrilling WWII drama (Destination Tokyo) . “Mr. Blandings” is a sort of 1940s rendition of “The Money Pit” - about a couple desperately trying to accomplish their dream house despite overwhelmingly hilarious adversity. It co-stars Melvyn Douglas and Myrna Loy. “My Common Wife” is the most outstanding of the three comedies. It stars Irene Dunne (who previously costarred with Grant in “The Unpleasant Truth”), as Grant’s wife - presumed tiresome at the commence of the film, but resurfacing shortly thereafter to throw a monkey wrench into Grant’s second marriage to Gail Patrick. “The Bachelor and The Bobby-soxer” is a quaint romantic triangle between Grant, Shirley Temple and Myrna Loy. He’s a playboy writer unwillingly and romantically tied to a 17-year-old schoolgirl (Temple) but more enthusiastic in her older sister (Loy) . “Night & Day” is the outstanding and tuneful musical loosely based on the life of composer, Cole Porter. Actually, there’s no hint of Porter’s genuine life in it at all, other than Grant assigned to play the flamboyantly homosexual real-life man as a playfully womanizing heterosexual. Faux reality aside, the film contains incredible production numbers to some amazing tunes including “You’re The Top” sung by Grant and “My Heart Belongs to Daddy”, a Mary Martin specialty that stops the indicate. “Destination Tokyo” is a stark shift from all the lighthearted playfulness discussed thus far. Grant is the captain of a submarine during WWII, sent to bag information for the coming Doolittle Raid. John Garfield is exquisite as the torpedo man with a bitter grudge against the Axis powers. A tad weighty on war time propaganda, this film is nevertheless, one of a handful of truly outstanding films based upon reality.
THE TRANSFERS: All of these films have been given an upgraded treatment by Warner Brothers and the desirable up most definitely shows - most noticeably on “My Well-liked Wife” which previously has looked very abominable on home video formats. Overall, the gray scale on each of these films (with the exception of “Night & Day” which is in Technicolor) is wonderfully balanced with natty whites and solid blacks. There’s very minute in the blueprint of age related artifacts for a collection of digital transfers that will surely NOT disappoint. There is some pixelization and edge enhancement display on “Destination Tokyo” as well as great film grain explain in several rear projection shots from the same film, but these are to be expected in the quality of films of this vintage. Of special note: the Technicolor transfer on “Night And Day” suffers from periodic mis-registration that creates distracting halos or out of focus image quality from time to time. At its best the color is rich and well balanced. The audio is mono for all the titles but very nicely balanced. Of special merit: the songs in “Night And Day” are wonderfully spatial.

EXTRAS: It is somewhat disappointing that the Cary Grant Bio currently airing on Turner Classic movies as fraction of their month long tribute has not been included as allotment of this box spot. We salvage only scant features here - some audio commentaries - resourceful if brief - some theatrical trailers and some publicity stills. Perhaps Warner is waiting to do a Cary Grant Vol. II. We’ll spy.
BOTTOM LINE: This is definitely one to add to your collection. Even if the transfers had not been so beautifully rendered - owning a bit of that veteran Cary Grant magic is never a raze of money.
This 5 Pack DVDs would cost around $80 if bought separately. They are all grand movies with splendid image and sound quality. Some extras include the movies radio shows, some 12 Grant Trailers, a couple of nice cartoons and a couple of shorts, one of them fine stale and involving. For the designate it’s a Vast Deal
