Review by Library Journal Review

A quartet of films from Columbia Pictures-two from Hollywood's Golden Age and two from the postglory era of the studio system-get the Criterion treatment. A small-time airline operator (Cary Grant) excels with brave fliers but plays hard to get with a spirited woman (Jean Arthur) smitten with him in Only Angels Have Wings (1939). Columbia's biggest star in the 1940s, Rita Hayworth shines in Gilda (1946), as a femme fatale in a love triangle with a rough-and-tumble gambler (Glenn Ford) and a jealous casino operator (George Macready). A superb adaptation of Truman Capote's "nonfiction novel," In Cold Blood (1967) vividly traces the murder spree of a pair of ex-convicts (Robert Blake, Scott Wilson) and their subsequent capture and execution. Easy Rider (1969) follows the road trip of two doper bikers (Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper) and the folks, including a civil liberties attorney (Jack Nicholson), they meet along the way. In a clear break from Columbia's past, Rider rode a wave of low-budget, counterculture films catering to younger audiences. VERDICT Digitally restored in high definition and supplemented by special features, all four movies offer substantial upgrades over their previous versions.-Jeff T.
