DVD Savant: The Professionals, The Man Who Could Cheat Death, and Starting Out in the Evening
This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews including: The Professionals - Blu-ray - Richard Brooks takes the action picture by storm in this still-pleasing 'armed incursion' western. Lee Marvin, Burt Lancaster, Woody Strode, Robert Ryan and Jack Palance are an unbeatable team, with Claudia Cardinale atop the cake for special appeal; The Man Who Could Cheat Death - Paramount wouldn't release it, so Legend Films licensed this classic-era Hammer horror show. Anton Diffring is the cheater and Hazel Court is in love with him; Christopher Lee is in there too; and Starting Out in the Evening - Frank Langella is an aging author who 'becomes involved' with a young literature hopeful interested in publicizing his work. On the obvious side but well acted and directed. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
