DVD Savant: Away We Go, Today We Live, and That Hamilton Woman
This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews including: Away We Go [Blu-ray] - John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph make an irresistible couple in an unusual comedy-drama about finding the right environment to raise a family. Great comedy despite an overstated character or two, directed by Sam Mendes; Today We Live - A weird hybrid of artistic ambition and studio glamour: Joan Crawford and Gary Cooper star in a WW1 tale written by William Faulkner and directed by Howard Hawks. Nobody sounds English and the entire show is twisted to shoehorn in a romantic subplot, but it's fascinating just the same. With aerial combat scenes from Hell's Angels; and That Hamilton Woman - Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier's greatest film pairing is also one of the most intense screen romances ever. Director-producer Alexander Korda's wartime propaganda is one of his last great productions and a classic of British filmmaking. With a great docu-interview with Michael Korda, Alexander's nephew. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
