Savant is hanging on here in Hollywood, keeping the reviews coming while editing once again ... and happy to be doing both!
Paramount's Bad Company is a seldom seen gem from Robert Benton, his directorial debut. Jeff Bridges and Barry Brown play punk draft evaders from the Civil War, who find out that living by one's wits out West isn't as easy as they thought it would be. An unusually good film.
Warner's DVD of Blake Edwards' The Great Race is a splendid disc of a lavish, sprawling comedy that may or may not be your idea of humor .. but there's no denying the quality of the production, or the talents of Tony Curtis, Natalie Wood, and Jack Lemmon.
Next up, another classic Western, and some vintage Ray Harryhausen. Glenn Erickson
