Greetings from Los Angeles. The best filmic entry on Pablo Picasso, and the last film from Humphrey Bogart are the DVD fare on Savant's docket tonight.

Image Entertainment and Milestone present us with The Mystery of Picasso, a movie about art that is itself a work of art - a recording of Pablo Picasso painting about twenty unique filmic canvasses. We see him creating them brushstroke by brushstroke, and they were destroyed after the film was finished. By Henri-Georges Clouzot; also with another Picasso-related short subject, Guernica by Alain Resnais.

Coluimbia TriStar have released The Harder They Fall, an old-fashioned but powerful indictment of corruption in the Boxing game. Humphrey Bogart (in his last appearance) stars, with Rod Steiger and Jan Sterling. Thanks! Glenn Erickson
