Included are: the drama CYNTHIA (1947), the spy thriller CONSPIRATOR (1949), the romantic comedy LOVE IS BETTER THAN EVER, and the romantic drama THE GIRL WHO HAD EVERYTHING (1953).

Features four classic films! Life with Father (1947) - Clarence Day is a free-thinking man. He's a churchgoer, but he will not be baptized, no matter what his wife says. Or will he? Actor William Powell earned his third Oscar(r) nomination for the role of Clarence Day, the cantankerous paterfamilias of a redheaded clan. Based on a hit Broadway comedy, Life With Father was one of the top box-office draws of 1947, earned four Oscar(r) nominations, and featured the direction of Michael Curtiz (Casablanca) and the charm of young Elizabeth Taylor and Irene Dunne. Father's Little Dividend (1951) - Reprising his role from the 1950 release, FATHER OF THE BRIDE, Spencer Tracy rejoins Joan Bennett, Elizabeth Taylor and Don Taylor in a charming sequel to MGM's original gem. Tracy portrays Elizabeth Taylor's father, Stanley Banks, who is still recovering from the effects of giving up his "little girl, " Kay, to Buckley Dunstan, played by Don Taylor. Upon hearing the news that the newlyweds are expecting, Tracy opposes the new arrival, feeling the stresses of middle age and family life, but he eventually accepts the inevitable. Throughout the film Tracy maintains a wonderful balance between humor and humanity with an unequaled performance. Vincente Minnelli also returns as the film's director. The Last Time I Saw Paris (1954) - Elizabeth Taylor is stunning in her portrayal of high society beauty Helen Ellswirth, a young socialite who lives with her eccentric ex-patriot father in post WWII Paris. She falls in love with and marries a young American journalist, Charles (Van Johnson), whose ambition is to become a novelist. Together they get caught up in a reckless and carefree lifestyle with their friends of the Parisian artistic society. They find out too late, that this kind of life does not mix well with marriage, family and career. Divorce His, Divorce Hers (1973) - Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton star in this two-sided tale of a marriage gone awry after nearly 20 years. The movie is told in two parts; his side of the divorce and hers.This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply.
