DVD Savant: The Deceivers, Random Harvest and More
The DVD Savant has been hard at work in this new year with a ton of new reviews including: The Deceivers -
a this fascinating, historically accurate and narratively daring combination of adventure and horror, Random Harvest - the most engaging bizarre romance of all time, an excellent tear-jerking thriller about amnesia that holds us spellbound even when we should be laughing at the unlikely plotting, We Don't Live Here Anymore - a muted, sensitive short story version of adultery and marriage stress in northwestern academia, the movie is a downer, but a quality downer, Ice Station Zebra - Rock Hudson leads a merry spy chase in his nuclear sub, unfortunately the destination is a North Pole that looks like it came out of a cereal box, The Mummy The Legacy Collection - Imhotep, Ardath Bey and later Kharis shamble, hypnotize and strangle their way into our hearts, Hell's Angels -
Howard Hughes' first and biggest film is an aerial epic of WW1, with terrific photography and the sexy presence of Jean Harlow, Master of the Flying Guillotine - a really fun chopsocky Kung Fu movie from 1976 with nicely-done characters and exciting choreography and Ivanhoe
Dashing Robert Taylor wins back England for Richard the Lionhearted, while saving Elizabeth Taylor's Technicolored hide from a witch'es pyre.
