DVD Savant's gotten some good sleep and is back with two reviews of very desirable features ... that you many not know about:

Criterion's The Importance of Being Earnest is the kind of movie Savant avoids, and then can't get enough of. Find out why Oscar Wilde is cracked up to be one of the great wits of all time, through the charming performances of Michael Redgrave, Joan Greenwood, Edith Evans, and Margaret Rutherford.

Columbia's Old Gringo is a superior historical drama about revolutionary Mexico from the great Carlos Fuentes novel. A famous author goes to see Pancho Villa and die, but becomes part of the obsessive story of a mad General. Jane Fonda, Jimmy Smits and best of all, Gregory Peck star.

Next up from Savant, the musical I promised, plus more of those weird Fantoma Educational films! Glenn Erickson
