DVD Savant: Errol Flynn, Twenty-Four Eyes, and Television Under the Swastika
This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews including: Errol Flynn: The Warner Bros. Western Collection - Errol shoots straight in four oaters stretching from 1940 to 1950, when he rode the range for the last time: Virginia City, San Antonio, Montana, Rocky Mountain. Stocked with plenty of Warners Night at the Movies extras; Twenty-Four Eyes - Keisuke Kinoshita's tale of twenty years in the life of a rural Japanese schoolteacher is unabashed sentimentality ... and extremely effective. Hideko Takamine plays a young teacher who must follow her students through an economic depression, government pressure and the war years; and Television Under the Swastika - Michael Kloft comes through again with ultra-rare film on a fascinating subject -- Nazi television broadcasts, the world's first regularly scheduled programming. While charting the technical progress of the newborn medium, the show gives us an unique look at everyday National Socialist propaganda. Hitler's TV programs tow the party line and ridicule other points of view. Hmmmm. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
