This is great way to revisit with an icon from Hollywood’s golden era. Speaking of which, who do we at the newsroom want on DVD? Special Editions of Abbott & Costello and the Little Rascals.
Fox Home Video’s “Will Rogers Collection, Volume 1” begins at the end of the great comedian and commentator’s career, presenting the last four films in which Rogers starred before his death on Aug. 15, 1935, in an experimental plane piloted by the pioneer aviator Wiley Post. At his death, Rogers was 20th Century Fox’s second-biggest box office attraction, coming in just behind the child star Shirley Temple, but he was something more than a movie star in Depression America.
