This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews and articles including: Sunset Blvd. - Billy Wilder's 1950 triumph marks the high point of the first section of his directing career, with a noir-inflected horror tale about an 'undead' diva from silent pictures draining the life from a cynical, self-destructive young writer; Death Watch - Bertrand Tavernier fashions a humanistic science fiction fable about the coming age of TV tyranny, as a terminally ill author flees a parasitic TV network determined to turn her dying days into Reality TV; and The Penalty - Lon Chaney's pulp masterpiece features the actor as a double amputee who runs a crime syndicate and hates the world. Besides vowing revenge on the doctors that cut off his legs, he plots to engulf San Francisco in an anarchistic wave of terror. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
