Sunday cooks along here in the California heat ... three reviews up, right on schedule:

Columbia TriStar's Nowhere in Africa impressed me as few new films have ... I can't wait to see it again. Columbia's 2 disc special edition presents this great picture in an excellent transfer.

MGM's Some Like it Hot is an older transfer recycled for inclusion in the Billy Wilder Collection released last July. It's a superlative comedy, but could use a new transfer.

The independent docu Mau Mau Sex Sex was a hot theatrical ticket; it's an unhinged look at the lives and careers of jolly sex & smut movie exploiteers David F. Friedman and Dan Sonney that bursts with incredible clips of their 30 years of trashy sleaze, an output often decried as sleazy trash. Very entertaining and illuminating, especially when we find out just how ordinary their home lives are.

Savant just got in some great new pix, and will be doing an early review of the 1969 The Italian Job, a movie I've never been able to resist. Thanks for reading! Glenn Erickson
