This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews and articles including: The Asphyx - This 70s shocker may not be perfect, but it has a genuinely horrid quality, an intelligent idea and some fine performances; Westward the Women - William Wellman's fine wagon train movie should be recognized as a classic; and Désirée - Marlon Brando takes a shot at playing Napoleon Bonaparte. A good sidebar of French history seen from a soapy romantic angle, this early CinemaScope offering is the closest Brando got to becoming just another Hollywood movie star. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
