DVD Savant: All That Heaven Allows, What Price Hollywood?, and Crack-Up
This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews and articles including: All That Heaven Allows - Douglas Sirk does his stylistic overkill job on a straight soap opera about a lonely widow (Jane Wyman) who dares -- dares, I tell you -- fall in love with a younger man (Rock Hudson); What Price Hollywood? - This proto- trial run for A Star is Born hasn't molded the story and character elements into a full-on glamorous, romantic mold, but it's a much more interesting (and less phony) snapshot of the Hollywood scene; and Crack-Up - This utterly forgotten Fox picture stars Peter Lorre in a half-comic, half-menacing role as a mentally-impaired airport 'mascot' who in reality masterminds a network of vicious international spies. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
