Savant's new reviews today are

The American Experience: Victory in the Pacific  Paramount/PBS
Eolomea  First Run
Jamboree  Warners and
Walt Disney's Timeless Tales Volume 1  

The week is going well, with some nice letters coming in about the Major Dundee - The Extended Version, which warms a self-centered writer's heart. I've even heard from Mike Siegel, the producer-director of the excellent unreleased Peckinpah documentary excerpted on the Dundee disc - I hope we get to see the whole thing soon. This may be the last time that we see more missing material from Dundee, and it's good to be a part of it. There's always a future Hi-Def release.

Summer's trailing off and everyone's thinking about school again ... Savant's going to celebrate the end of the season at the Cinematheque on Thursday. The Aero location is showing Billy Wilder's Ace in the Hole, which was strongly rumored for November from Paramount but didn't show up on their schedule. I hope it's not far off.

Thanks as ever for reading, Glenn Erickson
