DVD Savant: Last Starfighter, Gaumont Treasures, Bardelys the Magnificent
The Last Starfighter This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews including: The Last Starfighter [Blu-ray] - This 25th Anniversary Edition looks great, and contains an interesting documentary on the film's pioneering digital effects, all of which were done on a giant 1983 Cray computer; Gaumont Treasures 1897-1913 - A wonderfully-preserved selection of great pictures by Alice Guy, Louis Feuillade and Léonce Perret. The films range from 30 seconds to fifty minutes; many are "accidental" travelogues of turn-of-the-century France; and Bardelys the Magnificent / Monte Cristo - The dashing John Gilbert takes center stage in an impressive rediscovered and restored silent swashbuckler directed by King Vidor. Paired with a well-done 1922 version of Monte Cristo, as in "The Count of...". Excellent film history from Flicker Alley. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
