DVD Savant: Rashomon, The Rains of Ranchipur, and Mary Pickford Rags & Riches Collection
This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews and articles including: Rashomon - A major East to West breakthrough title and the subject of many a filmic treatise. A crime is committed on the road, and testimony is given by a wife, her husband and the bandit who may or may not have attacked her. Subjective flashbacks leave us pondering the nature of truth -- is it really knowable?; The Rains of Ranchipur - This CinemaScope remake of the '30s hit The Rains Came pairs spoiled American Lana Turner and innocent Indian doctor Richard Burton against the backdrop of an exotic land in monsoon time; and Mary Pickford Rags & Riches Collection - Milestone gives us three engaging, funny and astonshingly well-made Pickford classics: Poor Little Rich Gir,l The Hoodlum, and the exceptionally well-made Sparrows. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
