This week, The DVD Savant has reviews of Desire Under the Elms - Eugene O'Neill's grim drama with stars that lead us to expect a happy ending, Mr. & Mrs. Smith - Hitchcock's only screwball comedy is a delightful and delicate farce, The Alligator People - pristine late 50's monster nonsense, all in beautiful B&W scope and stereo sound, Strangers on a Train - Alfred Hitchcock's first 'mature' masterpiece is a wonderment of construction and cinematic invention, La Balance - a tense French crime drama that was a huge hit in France, On Valentine's Day & Courtship - prequels to Horton Foote's wonderful 1918 and I Confess - Hitchcock's 'failed' thriller tells us more about him than his celebrated successes and I Married a Monster from Outer Space - Campy nonsense going over the same ground as some 50s classics, this one's fun thanks to the good acting and jarring special effects. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
