Sunday Night is here! Savant's going to be busy cutting for about 36 hours straight, so he saved up an extra review to tide you over until Wednesday.

Criterion's Double Disc Special Edition of The Killers pairs both the 1946 and the 1964 versions of the Noir tale about two hit men who find a victim who doesn't run away or struggle when they finish him off. The double bill makes for great comparisons, as the first show, with Burt Lancaster and Ava Gardner, came in the heyday of Film Noir, and the rethought remake, with Lee Marvin, John Cassavetes and Angie Dickinson, was released in the paranoid months following the JFK assassination, when the thriller landscape had changed completely. And Criterion packs the two-disc set with compelling extras.

Artisan's budget release of Copacabana is an amusing, script-challenged musical comedy that has to rely on the personalities of Groucho Marx and Carmen Miranda to stay afloat, but will more than satisfy their fans.

Paramount's 2002 version of The Four Feathers is a huge disappointment, a PC-ridden rethink of a classic story that stresses anachronistic characterizations and trendy, meaningless camera technique over storytelling. Some nicely staged battles are wasted in this unfocused, pandering effort.

Savant's glad he got his THE KILLERS review out before street date. Kino's METROPOLIS streets on Tuesday, and I'll try to review one more new disc by then as well. Thanks for reading! Glenn Erickson
