This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews and articles including: The 27th Day - This well-remembered allegorical Sci Fi saga is actually one of the more vicious anti-Commie propaganda films of the 1950s. Gene Barry and Valerie French are among five humans chosen by a morally superior alien to receive capsules capable of killing every human on earth; Summer and Smoke - Rita Moreno and Pamela Tiffin shine in this little known but strongly affecting adaptation of Tennessee Williams' play. Childhood sweethearts don't see eye to eye, as she's a spinster in the making and he's a rogue who doesn't believe in spiritual values. Less bombastic but equally poetic as Williams' more celebrated works, this is a highly recommended surprise; and The Power - George Pal and Byron Haskin's sci-fi thriller concerns a telepathic superman who murders an entire think tank of scientists to protect his anonymity. Bizzare visuals illustrate this abstract war of evolved brainpower. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
