This week the DVD Savant takes a look at Home Vision's French farce called Drôle de drame a convoluted comedy of manners set in 1900 London; Universal's Night Passage a grade AAA deluxe Western, with terrific landscapes, and a good story; Fox's American Family: The First Season, a multigenerational comedy-drama that shapes up as a good Latino soap; MGM's explosively colorful disc of Julien Temple's Absolute Beginners, a musical that defies description; and from Paramount, Arthur Penn's near-perfect Little Big Man, the adventures of Jack Crabb. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
