Treasures : [DVD-Video] 5
Content:
Treasures 5 brings together 40 early movies showing the West as it's never been seen on DVD. Of course, the 10-hour, 3-disc anthology has plenty of Westerns, including examples with pistol-packing heroines; comic cowboys; Hispanic, Native American, and Asian stars; lawmen restaging their exploits, and America's first cowboy screen celebrities Broncho Billy Anderson and Tom Mix. With the West's younger days still fresh in filmmakers' minds, these narratives surprise today with their effortless authenticity̶in dress, gesture, props, buildings, and everyday work. In addition, the set also showcases the "real West" in travelogues from 10 Western states; newsreels about Native Americans; and documentaries about such Western subjects as cattle ranching in Santa Monica; riding the rails; how vaqueros made horsehair ropes; the birth of the canned fruit industry; and the beginning of the water wars. There are lots of surprises and a few genuine masterworks, including Mantrap (1926), with an utterly bewitching Clara Bow in her most sophisticated role, and W.S. Van Dyke's The Lady of the Dugout (1918), with outlaw-turned-actor Al Jennings playing himself 20 years earlier. None of the films has been available before in good-quality video... The Treasures 5 selections are accompanied by new music, interactive screens with maps, audio commentary, and an illustrated catalog. The set is curated by Scott Simmon and designed by Jennifer Grey. New music was created by music curator Martin Marks, featured pianists Stephen Horne and Michael D. Mortilla, and composers Andrew McPherson, Michael Miller, Brian Robison, Elena Ruehr, Charles Shadle, Christine Southworth, and Evan Ziporyn.
