Hello!

Over on Criterion’s page is a very nice historical article by Imogen Sara Smith on Columbia Pictures, in particular a decade that showed the studio finding success in prestige adaptations from books and plays.

From May 6,  Great Adaptations: Columbia in the 1950s puts a lot of thought into its discussion of 4 or 5 big hits, and in doing so gives a mini-analysis of What Made Columbia Tick, from  Born Yesterday to  The Bridge on the River Kwai.
