DVD Savant: Wicker Man and The Amazing Mr. X
This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews including:
The Wicker Man -
Anchor Bay reissues this still-obscure classic, which will perhaps earn more respect in light of the new remake version; Roma citta libera - Great acting in a forgotten neo-realist picture; The Swindle - For his 50th film, Claude Chabrol takes on the old-fashioned honor-among-ritzy thieves story, producing a suspenseful and witty entertainment; Open Letter to the Evening News -
A group of 'Mercedes Communists' in Italy are shocked when the newspapers print their offer to go to Vietnam to fight against the Americans; Nina Simone - Live at Montreux 1976 -
The High Priestess of Soul is captured in an intimate concert setting in Switzerland; The Amazing Mr. X -
John Alton's terrific cinematography raises this occult thriller by several notches; The Little Shop of Horrors -
This colorized re-issue of the Public Domain Little Shop has one good thing going for it -- a second good transfer of the original B&W version. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
