DVD Savant: Daisy Kenyon, Black Widow, Pre-code Hollywood and Gangsters
This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews including: Daisy Kenyon - One of Otto Preminger's best, this story of a romantic triangle is uncommonly intelligent and makes good use of three very different kinds of actors: Joan Crawford, Dana Andrews and Henry Fonda; Black Widow - The mystery is transparent and the casting rather maladroit, but this early CinemaScope thriller looks and sounds great;TCM Archives: Forbidden Hollywood Volume 2 - Warners continues its celebration of censor-free early 30s movie naughtiness with five MGM and Warners envelope edge-pushers: The Divorcee, A Free Soul, Three on a Match, Female and Night Nurse. Slinky costumes! Drinking! Sex! Crime! Drugs! Not to mention liberated women and Clark Gable as a brutal villain; and Warner Bros. Pictures Gangsters Collection Vol. 3 -Edward G. Robinson, James Cagney and Humphrey Bogart are back, in a variety of gangland-related stories: Smart Money, Picture Snatcher, The Mayor of Hell, Lady Killer, Black Legion, Brother Orchid. With plenty of extras, including commentaries. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
