DVD Savant: Make Way for Tomorrow, The Wizard of Oz, and Above and Beyond
This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews and articles including: Make Way for Tomorrow - Leo McCarey's responsible and sensitive (especially for 1937!) story looks at what happens to "inconvenient" elderly parents when their offspring resist taking them in. Great filmmaking and a beautiful performance from Beulah Bondi; Orson Welles considered this a masterpiece; The Wizard of Oz - Warners' incredibly glossy Blu-ray 70th Anniversary Ultimate Collector's Edition from last fall gets a belated review, in which Savant tries to nail down this landmark entertainment's appeal; and Above and Beyond - Robert Taylor is assigned to drop a big bomb on Hiroshima, and has to deal with the domestic problems of his wife Eleanor Parker at the same time! A quality nuclear-family propaganda effort from MGM, released in 1953. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
