Twentieth Century (Standard Edition)

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 is the film which established the template for the screwball comedy - and made Lombard a star. 4K restorationOriginal mono audioAudio commentary with film critic and writer Farran Smith Nehme (2021)Stars in Her Eyes (2021, 17 mins): academic Lucy Bolton discusses the film career of actor Carole LombardPeter Bogdanovich Recommends 'Twentieth Century' (1989, 5 mins): appreciation by the acclaimed filmmakerSuper 8 version: cut-down home cinema presentationThe Campbell Playhouse: 'Twentieth Century' (1939, 57 mins): radio adaptation starring Orson Welles and Elissa LandiAustin Film Society trailer (2016)Image gallery: on-set and promotional photographyNew and improved English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing
