Hello -- Savant has a mix of the sacred and the profane this weekend. We have a distinguished Biblical tale, Disney's first genuine "Shook Up Shopping Cart" comedy, an orgy of 1930s pre-code musical sensuality and a completely unexpected political satire from South Korea, kind of a JFK Meets Scarface.

A few fun future announcements if you haven't already heard: Fox's Noirs for June are House of Strangers, I Wake up Screaming and Boomerang! Fox also has the Valley of the Dolls movies for those who like 'em, Emperor of the North and three new Betty Grable pix. Anchor Bay will be bringing us Cemetery Man (Dellamore Dellamorte), The Quiet Earth and (much sooner) a special edition of The Long Good Friday. And Warners will bless us with the hard to see Petulia, The Loved One and A Fine Madness, the picture that starts with Sean Connery chainsawing an office desk in half.

Thanks for reading! --- Glenn Erickson
