DVD Savant: Alibi Ike, Ozu, and The Girl-Getters
This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews and articles including: Alibi Ike - Joe E. Brown wins ball games and woos Olivia de Havilland (in her first film) in this funny baseball comedy, with William Frawley, Roscoe Karns and a number of actual big league ball players. And wait 'til you see Brown's insane pitching style -- !; Two Films by Ozu - Yasujiro Ozu's first talking picture The Only Son and a wartime drama he made six years later, There Was a Father, are two similarly-themed masterpieces of parental sacrifice and commitment; and The Girl-Getters - Oliver Reed leads a pack of enterprising young men who use "The System" to sweep girls off their feet at a summer seashore resort. But Reed meets his match in Jane Merrow, a thoroughly modern "thrush" with her own ideas about using people. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
