The DVD Savant has a batch of new reviews including: A Letter to Three Wives - a Fox Studio Classic that's indeed classic, Dunsmore - Southern vigilante justice gets a new spin in this tale inspired by a real incident, It Happened to Jane - Doris Day in a formulaic but fun David vs Goliath story, Behold a Pale Horse - as dark and somber film that will confuse anyone not already familiar with the politics of the Spanish Civil War, Casque d'or - Jacques Becker's tale of love and hoodlums in 1890s France is an almost perfect movie and Leave Her to Heaven - a bizarre Technicolor noir with impressive music and a highly artificial look. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
