Giveaway — Academy Collection: The Envelope Please, Volume 1
Just in time for awards season and Hollywood’s biggest celebration, a unique look at some of Tinsel town’s stellar filmmaking during the industry’s early years in Academy Collection: The Envelope Please, Volume 1, unveiling on DVD February 23, 2010 from Infinity Entertainment Group.
Just the words, “The envelope please,” instantly evoke visions of Hollywood’s most-glamorous event, biggest stars and most-prestigious honor … the ACADEMY AWARDS. Academy Collection: The Envelope Please, Volume 1 is a rare look at “Best Picture” contenders during the infancy of the movie industry, award-nominated/winning movies from the first decade of this legendary gala (1929-39).
This four-disc collection includes eight full-length films, all “Best Picture” nominees: The Racket (1928), Alibi (1929), The Front Page (1931), A Farewell to Arms (1932), The Private Life of Henry VIII (1933), A Star is Born (1937), Pygmalion (1938) and Love Affair (1939).
The Racket, produced by Howard Hughes, was popped into my player. I thought, I’d watch the movie while I worked. I couldn’t work. The Racket is beyond Coppola and Scorsese. It’s a master piece. The ensemble piece winds around, intertwining characters, making a great story.
The Front Pagewith Pat O’Brien and Adolphe Menjou stirs with laughter, a comical depiction of that era. An original Broadway play brought to Hollywood for the first time in 1931.
The DVD has Bonus Material: Original trailers from other “Best Picture”-nominated/winning films of the decade.
Screenhead has 4 copies of Academy Collection: The Envelope Please, Volume 1 to give away. Post your name and we will pick the winners Sunday, March 14, 2010.

I’m not sure if I’ve seen this version of “The Front Page.” I love “His Girl Friday” and “Switching Channels.” I’m also particularly interested in “The Private Life of Henry VIII.” Ever since “The Tudors” started airing on Showtime, I’ve been reading about and watching films about that period. It’s fascinating.
I’d really love to win this!

Sounds great
Looks like a great collection, most of which I haven’t seen.
There are those who say that the 1937 version of A Star is Born is underrated after the 1950′s extravaganza. It would be great to own it as a part of this collection

Sounds like some wonderful DVD’s
I love old-time movies–the older the better. The 1920′s is pretty good old time dates. The 1930′s isn’t bad either.
