Savant's new reviews today are

The Deer Hunter  Universal
The Doctor and the Devils  Fox
The Moon and Sixpence  VCI and
Chu Chin Chow  VCI

Savant's friend Dick Dinman of the DVD Classics Corner has a radio show devoted to (what else?) Major Dundee, with input from Michael Anderson Jr. and new composer Christopher Caliendo, along with Savant. It's worth listening to, mainly for Anderson's funny memories and Caliendo's intelligent description of the challenge of re-scoring an old movie with an existing score. It's at DVD Classics Corner Radio.

Did you hear the news (or rumor) that Steven Spielberg is producing (and maybe directing) a remake of When Worlds Collide for Paramount? As the original movie is a great idea searching for a better script, this could be great news. Savant hopes. As long as it doesn't turn the end of the world into a backdrop for an ordinary Joe getting his dysfunctional family back together. "Keep working! Only Ten more hours until Zyra!"

Thanks, Glenn Erickson
