Greetings from LA ... a reminder to Savant Newsletter readers to check the Savant Front Page from time to time - we never know when the Newsletter might not get through ...

MGM's disc of Robert Altman's Images will delight his core of fans and probably not make much of a splash elsewhere. The film is received as absorbing or irritating without much space in between. Savant recommends it to fans of puzzle pictures. Susannah York is excellent - she's not often well-cast - and Altman's atmosphere is bizarre without being gimmicky.

From England come two Mondo Macabro reviews, from correspondent Lee Broughton. The Diabolical Dr. Z & Death Walks at Midnight are a pair of fairly well known horrors; the Franco film Dr. Z is a Region one release.

Reviewed very briefly on DVDTalk, but not archived on my page, are two 'give it a try' discs that turned out to be bad news. Film Classics' Return of Chandu is a horrendously poor version of what might have been a good show, and Aliolos' Pioneer in Aviation is an amateurish docu hiding some good material within a lot more fluff. Thanks for reading. Glenn Erickson
