Honoring Stanwyck's centennial, Warner Home Video has released a six-film set of five discs, packaged as Stanwyck's signature collection. Though other studios have released several of her more popular films recently, Warner Bros. has collected a decent array of her talent. Ranging from 1935 to 1955, 20 years of Stanwyck's work are included, four of which stem from MGM's late years (1949-55). No one picture truly stands out in the set, though Annie Oakley comes close; Stanwyck's performances in each picture prove just how amazing this star really is.

In the film noir "East Side, West Side" (1949), based on the best-selling novel by Marcia Davenport, Stanwyck is a prime suspect in a murder. Directed by Mervyn LeRoy, the film costars Ava Gardner, James Mason, and Van Heflin. It seems fairly tame and not a little dull by today's standards. 5/10.
