DVD Savant: Atragon, Sabata Trilogy and Cavalcade of Comedy
This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews including: Atragon -
Media Blasters Tokyo Shock pulls out the big guns with Toho's Sci-Fi fantasy about a colossal quadro-phibian warship; The Bird with the Crystal Plumage - Blue Underground presents what is claimed to be the definitive presentation of Dario Argento's first Giallo; The Sabata Trilogy - These spaghetti westerns have more gunshots than they do film perforations; A Christmas Carol - This is the 1938 Reginald Owen go-round for the Dickens classic; The Green Pastures - "Gangway for De Lawd God Jehovah!" Marc Connelly's plantation-folklore fable of the Old Testament is warm and spiritually honest, but it's stereotyping requires a lot of explaining;
La bataille du rail (The Battle of the Rails) - Rene Clement's resistance epic shows the railroad workers of France throwing a giant monkey wrench into the path of the German war machine as liberation nears; Cavalcade of Comedy: The Paramount Comedy Series 1929-1933 - Kino assembles sixteen early talkies demonstrating Hollywood's raid of Broadway and Vaudeville stars for the new sound medium. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
