Motion Picture Masterpieces Collection (David Copperfield 1935 / Marie Antoinette 1938 / Pride and Prejudice 1940 / A Tale of Two Cities 1935 / Treasure Island 1934)

Greer Garson, Laurence Olivier, Wallace Beery, Jackie Cooper, Ronald Colman
These movies are some of the masterpieces of the 30s and for Pride and Prejudice, 1940. While Hayes led his objection to the immorality of the movies, the studios tried to fend him off with upstanding works of art. MGM didn't fall down on the job.

For the book always explains you more about the characters, their wishes and motivations, but the images bring them alive, though some are always supressed from the novel.

The Constance Talmadge Double Feature: Her Night of Romance (1924) / Her Sister From Paris (1925)

Constance Talmadge, Ronald Colman, George K. Arthur, Jean Hersholt
Constance Talmadge was the youngest of the three Talmadge sisters, and the comedienne of the two acting Talmadges. Few of Constance's feature films survive, and she simply retired when talkies came in. Unlike Norma, she didn't even give them a stab. Like Norma, she was rich due to real estate, so she did not have to continue acting in order to support herself. Since she was as uninterested in maintaining her film legacy as her sister Norma was, she is forgotten today. The films included are:
