Shout! Factory will release a 4-DVD set on September 12th of the Dick Cavett TV show focusing on 15 Legendary Hollywood actors and directors. This 4-DVD set will contain 12 episodes featuring: Directors: Orson Welles, John Huston, Frank Capra, Robert Altman, Peter Bogdanovich, Mel Brooks and Alfred Hitchcock.
Actors: Katharine Hepburn, Fred Astaire, Bette Davis, Groucho Marx, Robert Mitchum, Debbie Reynolds, Kirk Douglas and Marlon Brando.
Cavett often devoted his complete 90-minute show to important guests, and unlike Johnny Carson or Merv Griffin, usually went much more deeply into their film career, so it will be a nice treat to see Orson’s 90-minute interview segment.
The set will also contains a new interview with Cavett conducted by Turner Classic Movies host Robert Osborne, along with new episode introductions by Dick Cavett.
Retail price is $39.95, but is selling at Amazon for $27.95. We’ll post a link to Amazon from Wellesnet shortly…
