Savant's new reviews today are
Hello .. this is a plug for friend Dick Dinman's new 30-min web radio show, DVD CLASSICS CORNER ON THE AIR which debuts on Thursday May 26 at 10:00 - 10:30 (West Coast Time) . Just type in www.wmpg.org and highlight "listen to WMPG". Dick's very special guests (applause) will be Gene Barry (star of the original WAR OF THE WORLDS ) and John Ericson (Spencer Tracy's co-star in BAD DAY AT BLACK ROCK) . The following week (June 2nd) his distinquished guest will be Mr. Karl Malden and he'll be doing a tribute to the legendary Steve McQueen. (Danke, end of plug ..)
It suddenly turned hot in Los Angeles, like summer-hot, and the air conditioners are going. I've just heard that the Bette Davis and Joan Crawford boxed sets are on their way, which is welcome news. I also have some excellent Criterion discs to dig into, and a compilation of material on Edward R. Murrow that made me curious. Finally, I'm going to review HOUSE OF BAMBOO s little earlier than I thought - it's too much fun not to. Hope that the school year is ending nicely ... take care. Glenn Erickson
