Twentieth Century: Limited Edition (1934)
Wednesday 10th March 2021
The second film Howard Hawks (The Criminal Code) made at Columbia Pictures is among his greatest works. John Barrymore plays a theatre impresario down on his luck. Carole Lombard is his former protégé, now a major star. When the two meet by chance aboard the Twentieth Century locomotive, their love-hate relationship is reignited.
Now recognised as a classic, Twentieth Century, released 22nd March 2021 as a Limited Edition Blu-ray from Powerhouse Films, is the film which established the template for the screwball comedy - and made Lombard a star.
