DVD Savant: Hans Christian Andersen, Lost Horizon, and Purple Noon
Hans Christian Andersen This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews and articles including: Hans Christian Andersen - Samuel Goldwyn's popular favorite on TV reruns is an odd, gentle musical about the writer of the famous fairytales, a total fabrication yet an interesting 'take' on the interior life of a misfit dreamer. Danny Kaye became ambassador to the world's children with this picture; Lost Horizon - The remake of Frank Capra's slightly dippy 1937 isolationist fantasy is a terminally maladroit musical that's jaw-droppingly entertaining. It's fascinating! One of the oddest miscalculations of the 1970s, and a favorite of lovers of cinematic car wrecks; and Purple Noon - Director René Clément's identity-theft murder mystery is tops in all departments, a real nail-biter with a storyline that seems all too possible. The smart Patricia Highsmith story (The Talented Mr. Ripley) is set among the young and wealthy on the sunny Italian coastline. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
