an astounding $1 billion in ticket sales. From his Academy Award-winning
performance in 1944's Best Picture winner Going My Way to his series of
classic comedic "Road" films with Bob Hope to entertaining musicals
enlivened by his distinctive baritone, Crosby is featured in top form crooning
some of his most memorable songs such as "June in January,"
"Swinging on a Star," Sweet Leilani," "I've Got a Pocketful
of Dreams" and the evergreen "White Christmas" from Holiday
Inn.
This timeless collection will entertain longtime fans and
introduce a whole new generation to the legendary style of the most popular
singing star of the 20th century in his most unforgettable roles and diverse

career of Bing Crosby with new interviews, never-before-seen footage and photos

Plus featurette, original theatrical trailers and
more!
I think I have all those on other compilations. The exception is "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" - and I gotta have it.
ReplyDeleteReally looking forward to the PBS documentary in December. Bing rules!
That sounds like a great collection! I'm especially fond of A CONNECTICUT YANKEE, which includes the beautiful "Once and For Always" (plus the equally beautiful Rhonda Fleming and a first-rate supporting cast).
ReplyDeleteToo bad, I have all of these already. I wish they would put out some of the unreleased Crosby, such as THE BIG BROADCAST, THE STAR MAKER, PARIS HONEYMOON or DIXIE. Heck, I'd even settle for DUFFY'S TAVERN.
