DVD Savant: Ryan's Daughter, Johnny Belinda and Dune Extended Edition
This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews including: Ryan's Daughter -
David Lean's last 70mm epic is a small-scale story made big via visual imagination and the Irish landscapes; Johnny Belinda -
Jane Wyman scores a statuette for her portrayal of a deaf-mute girl in this superior and heartwarming story; Kitty Foyle - Ginger Rogers' Oscar-bait dramatic effort imagines a really tough romantic problem: Kitty has to choose between doctor James Craig or millionaire Dennis Morgan; Goto, Island of Love - Bizarro filmmaker Walerian Borowczyk's first feature continues the traditions in his celebrated short subjects. Dune Extended Edition -
Universal gives us a beautiful remastered version of David Lynch's theatrical cut; Cimarron -
Richard Dix and Irene Dunne brave the west in the 1889 Oklahoma land rush; Goldstein -
Philip Kaufman's first feature is a self-conscious art film with a slight air of Chicago second-city humor; Pin Up Girl -
Betty Grable is the whole show in this script-challenged musical comedy about a USO cutie with a naughty talent for lying. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
