DVD Savant: The St. Valentine's Day Massacre, The Night They Raided Minsky's, and Syncopation
This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews and articles including: The St. Valentine's Day Massacre - Roger Corman's semi-doc approach to Al Capone's wipeout of the Bugs Moran outfit... Jason Robards doesn't look like Scarface but works up a righteous fury when killing men with razors and baseball bats; The Night They Raided Minsky's - Jason Robards and Norman Wisdom are Burlesque comics out to bed Britt Eklund, a virginal Amish girl who dances stories from the Bible; and Syncopation - This musical history of jazz is racially integrated, but its good intentions go only so far -- the music is great and the sentiment honest, but it's still a movie about black music told mostly from the viewpoint of white leads Bonita Granville and Jackie Cooper.
Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
