Savant slips into high gear with a fun musical restored with stuff you've probably never seen before, and two special discs of mind-warping educational films.

Fantoma has hit the spot with two releases, Driver's Ed. & On the Job. They're two more volumes from the fearsome Educational Archive, with great titles like The Trouble with Women and The Last Prom. Find out why your attitude at work is so rotten - it's your fault! See 13-year-olds Joyride to doom in a stolen car!

Columbia's new disc of 1776 restores 25 minutes to this very good musical about the founding fathers. William Daniels, Ken Howard and a jovial Howard Da Silva jig and minuet to the revolutionary top ten.

Excellent news from Columbia tonight - EARTH VS THE FLYING SAUCERS will be saucering its way into stores on September 17. We'd heard it was going to be a double-bill with the kingsize Octopus opus IT CAME FROM BENEATH THE SEA, but if it just has a good 16:9 transfer, all will be kopasetic. Thanks for hangin' in and see ya on Wednesday or thereabouts. Glenn Erickson
