DVD Savant: Indiscreet, Wild River, and King of the Pecos
This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews and articles including: Indiscreet - Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman star in an impeccable, impeccably civilized romantic comedy set in a rainy London beautifully photographed by Freddie Young. Footloose stage star Bergman is willing to take diplomat Grant as a husband or a lover, but his bachelor's philosophy is to never divulge his actual marital status. The complications come when Grant falls in love as well; Wild River - Elia Kazan's ode to the New Deal sends Washington agent Montgomery Clift to Tennessee to clear the way for a TVA dam -- and watches the fur fly - this is an unappreciated American classic not to be missed; and King of the Pecos - John Wayne is charming in one of Republic Studios' best westerns of the '30s. The unassuming small-scale struggle of ranchers against a water-rights racketeer is a triumph of modest means and good craftsmanship. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
