Will Rogers was all of these things and more to America in the '20s and '30s, and his political jabs and witty one-liners are still quoted - and still timely - today! Collected within are some of Rogers' most beloved performances - from the newspaper columnist role he seemed born to play in life and on screen, to a riverboat captain in his final screen collaboration with equally legendary director John Ford. Get reacquainted with the hands-down funniest character of his time.. now immortalized on DVD for all time!

Life Begins At 40
A wickedly funny account of an embattled small-town newsman whose pen is mightier than the sword!

In Old Kentucky
A laugh-out-loud tale of feuding racehorse owners... and the horse trainer who hoofs on over to the enemy camp!

Doubting Thomas
A wonderfully wacky tale co-starring Billie Burke (The Wizard Of Oz) as a stage-struck wife to Rogers' dumbstruck husband!

Steamboat Round The Bend
A riveting riverboat ride about a steamboat captain involved in a slick race... and an even slicker court case!
