DVD Savant: Cabin in The Sky, Stormy Weather and An Unmarried Woman
This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews including: Cabin in the Sky - the most heartwarming as well as the funniest of the all-black musicals is a film blanc battle royale between Heaven's angels and Lucifer's "Idea Men" of the infernal Hotel Hades; Stormy Weather -
Bill Robinson romances Lena Horne to the swing beat of Cab Calloway. The performance numbers easily top Anglo musicals of the time, creating a hep, all-tap, all-swing tuneful fantasy; An Unmarried Woman -
Paul Mazursky's insightful look at a wife set free by a sudden marital separation plays even better now than it did in 1978; Boys Town -
Savant shows no mercy on this worst of the MGM 'family fare' sentimental hogwash genre. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
