Claudette Colbert and Fred MacMurray were two of the biggest stars during the Golden Age of Hollywood. Each wildly successful on their own, they came together in seven films showcasing their magnetic on-screen chemistry. Claudette Colbert and Fred MacMurray: The Romantic Comedy Collection features three of those unforgettable films from their remarkable careers. THE GILDED LILY (1935)This often overlooked comedy gem, marks the first teaming of screen legends Claudette Colbert andFred MacMurray and is the epitome of a New York City urban fantasy. Newspaper reporter Peter Dawes (MacMurray) and stenographer Marilyn David (Colbert), nicknamed Lynn, meet regularly on a park bench sharing popcorn along with their dreams. Their budding romance is soon threatened by a chance meeting between Marilyn and Charles Gray (Ray Milland), an English nobleman visiting America. Marilyns fantasy of landing a handsome millionaire becomes a reality as she is pursued by Charles in a whirlwind courtship, leaving Peter fighting to reclaim his love. When the press learns of the affair, it turns into an international tabloid scandal for everyone involved. Directed by Wesley Ruggles, THE GILDED LILY helped launch the career of Fred MacMurray who would make six more films with Claudette Colbert over the years. THE BRIDE COMES HOME (1936) A screwball comedy set against the backdrop of Chicago during the Depression finds Jeanette Desmereau (Colbert), a socialite left penniless by thestock market crash who takes a job as a writer for a man's magazine, at the center of a romantic triangle.

These sellers are EXTREMELY selfish!!!
This item is available new from turnerclassics for $34.99 on sale ($39.99 regularly). These sellers obviously don't care about the dissemination of these wonderful movies, only lining their own pockets. MacMurray and Colbert were phenomenal together. Get these movies, but not from sellers like these!!! Its insane to sell these masterpieces "used," for more than they are available new. And lets hope no one decides to do so. These movies should not be priced out of reach of the average buyer who simply wants to preserve in their own collection movies from Hollywood that were worth watching.

This set comes with 3 DVDs and I really like each movie on its own DVD
I have only watched one of this set so far, but I've seen one of the others in the past. This set comes with 3 DVDs and I really like each movie on its own DVD. I know I will like the final movie as well. I am shocked by how much the market sellers are asking for this set. I bought mine in January 2015 and it was under $15 on TCM. I had waited a long time for the price to come down (it never did) and I checked it one more time on TCM and was shocked at the very reasonable price there.
