DVD Savant: Edvard Munch, Young Mr. Lincoln, Great Day in Harlem
This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews including: Edvard Munch - Peter Watkins' stunning bio of the Norwegian painter uses a style as original as Munch's own; Young Mr. Lincoln - John Ford's classic look at the early career of the 'jackleg lawyer'; Desert of the Tartars - A regiment spends decades watching an uncontested frontier, waiting for an attack that never comes; Great Day in Harlem - Producer Jan Bach creates a terrific memory documentary by letting jazz greats peruse a famous photo from 1958, that collected 57 notable musicians on a Harlem doorstep; The Good Earth - The peak of Hollywood prestige pictures, with Pearl S. Buck's novel adapted well to the screen; Daddy Long Legs - Fred Astaire and Leslie Caron are delightful in this late-career musical, but they don't make a satisfactory couple; Dog Eat Dog - Dark Sky dredges up a completely off-the-wall European crime and murder tale, dripping with awful dialogue and overstated performances; La ronde - Roger Vadim's remake of the Ophuls classic omits most of the grace notes of the Schindler story to billboard a roster of glamorous movie stars, including his soon-to-be wife, Jane Fonda. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
