Just in time for awards season and Hollywood's biggest celebration, a unique look at some of Tinseltown's stellar filmmaking during the industry's early years in Academy Collection: The Envelope Please, Volume 1, unveiling on DVD Feb. 23 from Infinity Entertainment Group.

Just the words, "The envelope please," instantly evoke visions of Hollywood's most-glamorous event, biggest stars and most-prestigious honor ... the ACADEMY AWARDS®.  Academy Collection: The Envelope Please, Volume 1 is a rare look at "Best Picture" contenders during the infancy of the movie industry, award-nominated/winning movies from the first decade of this legendary gala (1929-39).

Three Academy Award winners and several film industry veterans will be special guests at Robert Osborne's Classic Film Festival, Thursday through Sunday, March 25-28, at The Classic Center in Athens. Actors Marshall Bell, Corey Feldman, Cloris Leachman and Caren Marsh-Doll will join authors John Bengtson and Eddie Muller, producers Gray Frederickson, Fred Roos and Leon Vitali, and Turner Classic Movies' vice president Tom Brown as special guests.

For the sixth straight year, locals and visiting cinephiles will be treated to Hollywood classics on the big screen when Robert Osborne’s Classic Film Festival comes to town. The event will be held March 25-28, 2010 at The Classic Center in downtown Athens, Georgia.

Robert Osborne, the primetime host of Turner Classic Movies and a columnist for The Hollywood Reporter, has picked nine classic films that he says, “represent the breadth and variety of classic cinema from the 1920s to the 1980s.” The 2010 festival selections are: To Catch a Thief, Double Indemnity, Stand by Me, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Shining, Steamboat Bill Jr., All About Eve, The Godfather II, and The Wizard of Oz.

In the 1948 The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, the adventure is built on the pursuit of all that glitters. Even before H. Rider Haggard's Allan Quatermain set off in search of King Solomon's mines, tales were told of men who sought riches and the follies their greed brought upon them. Though these types of stories have endured for centuries, Sierra Madre remains the genre's high water mark. This teaming of one of the decade's finest filmmakers (John Huston) with one of its biggest stars (Humphrey Bogart) brought fans a stirring glimpse at what men do when cold, hard cash is on the line. Though it's not without a certain hint of Hollywood sentimentality, Sierra Madre, also starring Tim Holt and Walter Huston (John's dad), is as compelling as journeys into the heart of darkness can get.
