DVD Savant - F is For Fake, The Quiet American and Beach Red
More great reviews this week from DVD Savant including: F for Fake -
Criterion pulls out all the stops to surround Orson Welles's bizarre faux-documentary with carefully-chosen extras; The Quiet American - Joseph L. Mankiewicz's original film version of Grahame Greene's book is beautifully made - and then alters the ending to make his anti-American theme into a pro-American one; Teacher's Pet - Doris Day charms tough newspaperman Clark Gable, and then makes him re-think his place in journalism; Bad Education - Pedro Almodovar's twisted, layered thriller digs deep into the more bizarre extremes of gay culture; Beach Red - Cornel Wilde uses gore to hype his anti-war film that was very popular with the action movie crowd; The Trip to Bountiful - This adaptation of Horton Foote's play helped Geraldine Page win a Best Actress Oscar; Hindle Wakes - Milestone unearths another interesting treasure, a 1927 silent classic from England about an illicit affair and a young woman's unorthodox attitude. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
