From the liner notes

Many consider the American Film Theatre series to be the finest collection of plays brought to the screen in the history of American cinema. Aside from a limited VHS release in 1978, these 14 critically-acclaimed feature films have been completely unavailable both on video and in theatres. Now, 28 years after the series finished its theatrical run, Kino on Video is proud to reintroduce these landmark feature films to a wider audience.

The American Film Theatre was the vision of producer Ely Landau, who challenged film audiences to set their sights on high-quality drama and comedies enacted by top industry talents. Throughout its three years of existence (1973-1975), this ground-breaking series of magnificently crafted films was made available in selected theatres, only for members who purchased a special annual subscription. Included are: A Delicate Balance, The Man in the Glass Booth, The Homecoming, Three Sisters, In Celebration (see 'related products' below for details on the individual films)
