DVD Savant: Busby Berkeley Collection, The Gladiators and The Ferpect Crime
This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews including: The Busby Berkeley Collection - The king of kaleidoscopic sensual delights is here in all his pre-code glory; David and Bathsheba - Gregory Peck and Susan Hayward are the King and his adulterous consort, covering up their sin with murder; The Shaggy Dog - Uncle Walt's first live-action comedy is a nostalgic delight, even if almost every facet of the show has dated badly; The President's Last Bang -
Im Sangsoo's wild political expose is a wacky, blood-soaked comic look at the 1979 assassination of the President of South Korea; The Gladiators - Peter Watkins' controversial "Peace Game" film, made in 1969, that forecasts the ultimate "reality show"; House on Telegraph Hill - Sneaky Richard Basehart has underhanded motives for marrying concentration camp survivor Valentina Cortesa; The Perfect (Ferpect) Crime - Post - Almodovar comedy hijinks in a colorful, classy package. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
