Saturday night again ... and another two fun reviews:

Image Entertainment premieres Pupi Avati's acclaimed The House with Laughing Windows for the U.S. on this very attractive disc. It's a sunny gothic, with a really creepy mystery unspooling in a rural Italian town.

Paramount's first library Western of the season is the entertaining Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, with Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas having a mighty fine time blasting down the likes of John Ireland, Lyle Bettger and Dennis Hopper (not to mention Special Guest Dying by Lee Van Cleef and Jack Elam. And stalwart Jo Van Fleet gets batted around some as well. Something for everyone in this great crowd-pleaser: "Have you no kind words to say? Before I ride away?"

No special news for the day - I've been mostly writing and staying away from the television news, playing ostrich, I suppose. There's a Film Noir festival at the American Cinematheque going on that I know a lot of my friends are attending. See you in a couple of days! Glenn Erickson
