DVD Savant: Desk Set, Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion and Mary Poppins
This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews and articles including: Desk Set - This vehicle for Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn is an early example of movies about the new corporate climate, where automation is a constant threat and higher-ups keep employees in the dark; Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion - Perhaps the best political thriller from Italy's 'committed action' years, Elio Petri's thriller investigates a police chief so arrogant about his special security powers that he commits a murder and leaves plenty of evidence, knowing that his own staff will never think of suspecting one of their own; and Mary Poppins - A full-on restoration brings Walt Disney's happiest live-action / animation film to Blu-ray in terrific shape. Suffragettes and father issues aside, it's a delight to see Julie Andrews take command, while Dick Van Dyke cavorts in what is easily his best movie performance. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
