The fifth volume of Sony's Columbia Classics Collection box sets is another terrific release, one that features 4K editions of Robert Rossen's All the King's Men (1949), Marlon Brando's unforgettable On the Waterfront (1954), Best Picture biopic A Man for All Seasons (1966), the still-hilarious Tootsie (1982), the sumptuous Daniel Day Lewis-led The Age of Innocence (1993), and Greta Gerwig's masterful adaptation of Little Women (2019). Each volume in Sony's ongoing collection not only highlights a spread of the best of the best of the decades, it gives each film a high quality video presentation, (when necessary) a striking remaster or restoration, cutting edge audio (typically an Atmos upgrade), and often new extras.

All told, this is another fine Columbia Classics Collection box set from Sony. I'm sure each title will earn an individual 4K release eventually, but the studio has packaged each title within its own standard 4K UltraHD black case (with a slipcover), making it easy to toss the box, keep the box, treasure the box... whatever suits ya. And with a lineup of very good to excellent video presentations and audio tracks (five of which are Atmos experiences), it's hard to go wrong.
