DVD Savant: The Wages of Fear, Orchestra Wives and Detective Story
This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews including: The Wages of Fear - Criterion re-ships one of the most explosive cinematic cargos ever filmed; Orchestra Wives - A great Swing-Era fairy tale with some interesting lessons about women's place in the 1940s; Detective Story -
William Wyler transforms a hit play into a movie ; Guerrilla: The Taking of Patty Hearst -
A great docu revisitation of the reign of terror of the Symbionese Liberation Army and their kidnapping of an heiress; Teorema - Savant likes Pasolini movies so doesn't know whether to tell readers to skip this movie or simply skip my review; Darling Lili -
Blake Edwards' romantic musical comedy drama was a debacle that almost ended careers; Dracula A.D. 1972 - Hammer's least inspired Dracula picture at least has Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing going for it; Demon Seed - Julie Christie has the unenviable role of a woman imprisoned and raped by a super-computer with the voice of Robert Vaughn. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
