Savant's new reviews today are

Tunes of Glory Criterion
Flamenco de Carlos Saura New Yorker
The Damned Warner and
Fire Down Below Columbia TriStar.

Some helpful readers have pointed out to me that two titles I hoped were on the way, actually have hard street dates. The 1960 seminal Eurohorror Mill of the Stone Women is due out on March 16 from Ventura, and Bob Clark's Vietnam War ghost story Deathdream should be here on May 25 from Blue Underground.

Equally exciting is Fox's April 20th release announcement of Alexander Mackendrick's A High Wind in Jamaica starring Anthony Quinn, and James Coburn in the role that got him his big Fox contract. It'll be an opportunity for most of us to see it in Cinemascope for the first time. I like Master and Commander even better now ... as High Wind has been released clearly to tie-in with it. Thanks for reading, Glenn Erickson
