DVD Savant: My Favorite Spy, The Underworld Story, and Knock on Wood
This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews and articles including: My Favorite Spy - Bob Hope teams with the sultry Hedy Lamarr in a popular Paramount comedy of a substitute agent proving his cowardice on a dangerous mission to Morocco. It's first-rate Hope & Lamarr for the first half, until the big slapstick set pieces take over; The Underworld Story - Or .. how to get yourself blacklisted in one easy step. Cy Endfield's searing critique of American values presents Dan Duryea as a "hero" who tries to profit -- in four separate ways -- from the murder arrest of an innocent black maid; and Knock on Wood -Danny Kaye is a mixed-up ventriloquist who tangles with deadly Cold War spies -- the funny kind. Mai Zetterling is a romantic psychiatrist; gags involve a crazy car and a goofy ballet. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
