Editorial Reviews:

In his early years, Jimmy Stewart came to personify the Everyman. "Hollywood dishes out too much praise for small things,'' Jimmy once said. "I won't let it get me, but too much praise can turn a fellow's head if he doesn't watch his step.'' - Through a Hollywood career spanning 50 years James Stewart has thrilled, touched and delighted audiences with over 80 films. Six of those films are now available on DVD in the all new James Stewart: The Signature Collection.

Comment: This Collection has a wide variety of James Stewart's work & talent. It is a must own collection for any fan of James Stewart. Enjoy
Customer Rating: 
Summary: The excellent, the good - and the not so good!
Comment: James (Jimmy) Stewart was one of the truly great actors of the the screen. His reign was long and honourable - as was his life, generally, especially during WW2. Stewart deserves every superlative, for his acting and this 'collection' does nothing to tarnish his reputation as a superb and accomplished actor. That said............
The problem with 'collections' is that, invariably, not each of the components please everyone. Everyone has a different opinion, about any form of art and, especially, story writing.
This 'collection' contains stories that do not greatly impress the writer - along with firm and much loved favourites.
If one admires Stewart - and who doesn't - this collection is worth a 5 star, plus, rating. However the fact, that in all liklihood not all the films will be to your particular pleasure, forces me to afford an average rating of only 3 stars.
'Collections' have their drawbacks - for the consumer!
Customer Rating:
Summary: JAMES STEWART!!! (Capitals intended)
Comment: Did James Stewart ever give a bad performance? Was he ever boring on film?
Did he ever make a bad picture? If he did, 'tis something I missed.
The Naked Spur: Right up there with any classic western/movie you care to name!
The Cheyenne Social Club: funny as all get-out! There's Henry Fonda and that...sight-for-sore-eyes:Shirley Jones. Think I'll drop in at the CSC for a visit!
Firecreek: The story is a bit strange but the whole-lotta-talent on the screen makes up for it.
The FBI Story/The Spirit of St Louis/The Stratton Story: Movies made to be enjoyed not "overanalyzed". Perhaps they have not aged all that well, the world being what it is today and what it was "back then" (HA!), when these films were made. To these tired, ol' eyes, JS, June Allyson, Agnes Moorehead and Vera Miles make for more than pleasant viewing.
James Stewart fan or not, GET THIS!
