DVD Savant: Mr. Peabody and the Mermaid, Judex, and L'eclisse
This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews and articles including: Mr. Peabody and the Mermaid - Nunnally Johnson wrote and produced this delightfully funny tale of a mid-life crisis suffered by the affable William Powell. Despondent at entering middle age, he hears a Siren's Call and catches a living, breathing, kissing mermaid of his own, Ann Blyth; Judex - Georges Franju's re-think of Louis Feuillade's silent French serial is a marvelous concoction of pulp thrills, delicate treachery and fantastic semi-surreal images; and L'eclisse - Frustrated Monica Vitti ditches one lover and finds another yet fails to make a truly personal contact and can't make sense of her affluent but empty life. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
