DVD Savant: Blackboard Jungle, Varan the Unbelievable and Advise and Consent
This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews including: Blackboard Jungle - Richard Brooks' original Juvenile Delinquency epic hit all the right nerves and invented a whole new subgenre, Warlock - Along with The Gunfighter this 1959 show is the best western of the 50s, Varan the Unbelievable - Media Blasters' third classic Toho offering is a funky Kaiju contender with a crazy production release history, I Don't Know What Your Eyes Have Done To Me - Argentinean musicologists undertake a fool's quest for a legendary Tango singer, sixty years after her mysterious disappearance, The Razor's Edge - Darryl F. Zanuck's personal production oozes prestige but is caught between a classy melodrama and a silly presentation of one man's spiritual rebirth, That Darn Cat - Hayley Mills and Dean Jones are the patsies in this cutsified and declawed comedy from the waning years of inspiration at Disney, A Face in the Crowd - Elia Kazan and Budd Schulberg skewer 50s telefascism with the remarkable Andy Griffith as a corn-pickin' demagogue who rises from the drunk tank to national celebrity on Tee Vee and Advise and Consent - Charles Laughton steals the show in his last performance; Otto Preminger's multi-subplotted Senate melodrama is one of his best movies. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
