This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews and articles including: The Face of Fu Manchu - Christopher Lee dons fake eyelids and a long moustache to play Sax Rohmer's insidious arch villain, this time perfecting a nerve gas with which to control the world; Ramrod - a tough and cynical tale of ambition and loyalty starring Joel McCrea and Veronica Lake, a pair of actors one expects in lighter fare. Director Andre De Toth's range war is a step up in ruthlessness and brutality. Very progressive for its year, and until now a 'stealth' western mini-classic appreciated only by genre fans; and Sometimes A Great Notion - Paul Newman's excellent direction enhances Ken Kesey's tale of a family of scab lumbermen that keep working during a big-scale strike. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
