That Certain Thing
Director Frank Capra's first feature for Columbia Pictures, the silent That Certain Thing stars Viola Dana and Ralph Graves. Dana plays a poor girl who falls in love with wealthy Graves, the son of a millionaire restaurateur. When Graves declares that he has no intention of going into the family business, his father cuts him off without a dime. With nary a dime between them, Graves and Dana hit upon a moneymaking plan: they'll manufacture box lunches in Dana's kitchen, then sell them to construction workers from the back of her Model T. The box-lunch enterprise blossoms into a big business, driving dad's chain of restaurants into bankruptcy. All is forgiven when Father becomes Graves' junior partner. Lensed for less than $20,000 (the "prop" box lunches saved catering costs!), That Certain Thing was a hit, launching a long and rewarding association between Capra and Columbia.

Battling Butler
Alfreds far sender Alfred ut på jakt- og fisketur for å gjøre ham til en ekte mann. Han verken skyter eller fanger noe, men forelsker seg i stedet i ei jente.
The General
Med sin utrolige oppfinnsomhet, avvæpnende spøkefullhet med krigens myter, alle de halsbrekkende stuntene og en av tidenes dyreste katastrofescener, er filmen fremdeles en fantastisk opplevelse også i dag.
