My latest DVD-R purchase from the Warner Archive Collection is 1934's BROADWAY BILL. Why did I get this? Because it was one of the few films directed by Frank Capra that I had never seen. Out of all the features Frank Capra made during his time at Columbia, BROADWAY BILL may be the most obscure. Ca read more

It was on this day twenty years ago that the Turner Classic Movies TV cable channel premiered.
