This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews and articles including: The Maltese Falcon - The Bogart/Astor/Lorre/Greenstreet classic looks fantastic in HD, and comes with a full roster of Warner Night at the Movies extras; Crack-Up - An oddball RKO noir from 1946: Pat O'Brien, Claire Trevor and Herbert Marshall work their way through a convoluted plot about forged art, madness and murder. This is one of those movies where the hero may be insane, and it always seems to be nighttime; and Middletown - One of the best 'direct cinema' documentaries ever, this multi-part examination of life in Muncie, Indiana is a revealing representation of American culture and an emotional viewing experience. Producer Peter Davis' miniseries includes the notorious final episode about teen life that was refused broadcast -- because of PBS political interference. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
