We kick into Monday with evidence of what Savant did on Sunday: two more reviews of worthwhile movies. Editorial work is piling up, so I'm glad to be able to get so many out so quickly ... trying not to rush anything.

Artisan's Collectors' Editon of John Ford's The Quiet Man is an entertaining show, even if the transfer isn't what it should be. John Wayne gives one of his best performances.

Carlton's DVD of The Railway Children is a warm and engaging family-oriented story of three dispossessed kids whose relationship with the English rail system gives them adventure and solutions to their problems. A charming remake of a 1970 film almost forgotten now. With Jenny Agutter and Richard Attenborough.

Savant's working on films by Robert Aldrich and Clint Eastwood at the moment, with more bizarre entries to come. Thanks for reading. Glenn Erickson
