Criterion should have included the Lux Radio Theater radio broadcast of It Happened One Night (with both Gable and Colbert reprising their roles) at a bare minimum.

For those that don't own the DVD, this is what it had for extras:
-Frank Capra, Jr. audio commentary
-Frank Capra, Jr. Remembers..."It Happened One Night" [11:16]
-Vintage Advertising - A gallery of lobby cards and posters.
-Live Radio Broadcast - The March 20, 1939, episode of Lux Radio Theater. Gable and Colbert perform It Happened One Night [59:36]
-Theatrical Trailers - It Happened One Night, Mr. Smith Goes To Washington, and Lost Horizon.
-Talent Files - Biographies and filmographies for Capra, Gable, and Colbert.

I also own that DVD. I never expect the text Talent Files, Biographies or filmographies on BDs. But the commentary would have been nice as would the 11 min feature. There are some nice new extras even though they are about the director & not this film specifically. And the restoration probably will be great.
