DVD Savant: Overlord, Sailor of The King and True Confessions
This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews including: Overlord -
Stuart Cooper uses miles of rare wartime combat footage to tell the absorbing story of a young soldier in the first wave of the D-Day assault; Sailor of the King -
A terrific war adventure pitting one man against an entire German battleship; The Purple Heart -
One of the stickier examples of wartime propaganda, a film purposely designed to stir up fury for revenge; True Confessions - Roberts DeNiro and Duvall give excellent performances in a profound L.A. story of murder and corruption;
Fixed Bayonets - Sam Fuller's first big-studio picture is a solid lone platoon tale with Richard Basehart and the inimitable Gene Evans; The Silent Partner -
Meek bank teller Elliott Gould locks horns with psycho bank robber Christopher Plummer in the unacknowledged best thriller of 1978. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
