DVD Savant: Shivers, Audrey Rose, and Topkapi
Shivers This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews and articles including: Shivers - David Cronenberg's first commercial feature is barely more than a softcore porn film, but in conception and execution it's a little masterpiece. ; Audrey Rose - From Frank De Felitta's best selling novel, this Robert Wise picture is the most confoundingly prestigious/frustrating horror offering of the '70s, a dumber-than Pazuzu Exorcist follow-up that torments a little girl for two hours, for the apparent purpose of getting us to accept the Eastern religious concept of reincarnation. It's not a thriller, it's an infomercial; and Topkapi - Jules Dassin films the flip side of his pessimistic Rififi in this brightly colored comic caper comedy set in the exotic city of Istanbul. A gang of crooks trick the nervous Peter Ustinov into sneaking across the rooftops of the fabulous Topkapi Museum, there to snatch a priceless treasure for the greedy-but-inspired temptress Melina Mercouri. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
