DVD Savant: Lord of the Flies, A Boy and His Dog, and The Cat and the Fiddle
This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews and articles including: Lord of the Flies - Stage legend Peter Brook tackles William Golding's ferocious novel about school kids reverting to savagery, filming on a shoestring in B&W on an island off Puerto Rico. Working with non-actors and minus special effects (or even lights), the film conveys most of the impact of the book; A Boy and His Dog - Adapted from a story by Harlan Ellison, this adult Sci-fi from L.Q. Jones shapes up as perhaps the first fully imagined tale of life in a post-apocalyptic future; and The Cat and the Fiddle - Jeanette MacDonald's first MGM film pairs her with the charming Ramon Novarro in a simple yet endearing musical romance. They're competing composer-singers that form a perfect union, only to be split up by an amorous patron of the arts. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
