DVD Savant: Cary Grant, An American Dream, and Dune
This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews and articles including: Cary Grant: The Early Years - The TCM Vault Collection gives us three military themed 30s pictures showing Cary Grant's rapid rise in the ranks of Hollywood stars, beginning as a supporting pretty boy and moving into adventure dramas: Devil and the Deep, The Eagle and the Hawk, The Last Outpost. Rare titles, clean transfers; An American Dream - This 1966 adaptation of a novel by Norman Mailer is a highly entertaining car wreck, a campy exercise in bad taste and pretention. Stuart Whitman is the muckraking TV pundit suspected of murdering his wife, a sadistic nymphomaniac; Janet Leigh is the mob moll dreaming that love is still possible. Great trashy, tasteless fun that leaves no scenery un-chewed; and Dune - Universal presents the Theatrical Cut (only) of David Lynch's extravagant space opera on Blu-ray, making us wish that the director would return to the show for an authorized extended version. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
