Burbank, Calif. September 28, 2004 ? On December 7, Warner Home Video will celebrate the life and career of Academy Award®-winning director George Stevens with a seven film DVD collection featuring six of his most acclaimed works along with a moving portrait of his career directed by his son, George Stevens, Jr. Debuting on DVD, Gunga Din, I Remember Mama, George Stevens: D-Day to Berlin and George Stevens: A Filmmaker?s Journey will each be available for $19.97 SRP. Alice Adams and Woman of the Year will also be priced at $19.97 SRP and the Giant Two-Disc Special Edition will sell for $26.99 SRP.

Born on December 18, 1904 in Oakland, California, Stevens began working in the film industry as a cameraman during the 1920s, shooting comedies, including Laurel and Hardy films, at the Hal Roach studio. Stevens went on to direct Katharine Hepburn in the 1935 film Alice Adams, which proved he had a wider range than comedy. Stevens enjoyed continued success and three of his films, Swing Time, Gunga Din and Shane have come to be regarded as classic examples of their respective genres.

Stevens received five Academy Award nominations for directing and, in addition to his win for Giant, also won the Oscar® for his work on A Place in the Sun. As a producer Stevens was nominated for four Oscars when the two aforementioned films, along with Shane and The Diary of Anne Frank, were nominated for Best Picture. Stevens also received the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award in 1953 and served as president of the Academy in 1958 and 1959.
