1918 - actually part of a trilogy
The review of 1918 says:
I'm given to understand that 1918 is actually half of a longer piece collectively called Story of a Marriage. The other half. On Valentine's Day came out a year later and features several of the same key cast members; I just discovered that it too has come out on Image DVD and I'm going to ask to review it right away.
Actually you can triple your pleasure, because this is really part of a trilogy, and all three titles are being released on DVD. The other title is Courtship which is set in 1915.
This is solid adult drama, and I hope a lot of people will, discover these gems of Americana.

Not only that, but Courtship, On Valentine's Day & 1918 are actually just the three middle plays of a nine-play series called The Orphan's Home Cycle...

I strongly recommend the entire series to anyone who finds themselves drawn to Horton Foote's characters, or his "lyrical realism" writing style...

All three are excellent films with strong performances.
Since all three films involve the same small town and characters, I wonder why they were not released in a box set?
