Image Entertainment comes through again with a perfect-quality disc, of a 45-year-old horror film.

The show is The Unearthly, a not-particularly-good mad doctor movie with John Carradine, Allison Hayes, and Tor Johnson. But monster fans will be shocked to see it looking so good - we're too used to the fuzzy old television copies.

The first of this week's Sundance Channel Criterion Classic screenings is a wonderful early sound comedy from France by René Clair called Le million. It's showing at 9PM on Saturday Aug. 10. On Sunday night at the same time, the Sundance Channel will be showing Carl Dreyer's very chilling Day of Wrath, a tale of witchcraft from Denmark.

There's more classic foreign films and vintage horror coming from DVD Savant - MGM double bills, and another Visconti masterpiece. Thanks again, Glenn Erickson
