Greetings! Savant's new reviews today are

The Jayne Mansfield Collection:
The Girl Can't Help It, Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? & The Sheriff of Fractured Jaw
 Fox and
Savant also has a revision of an old "Jump Cut" article,
Jump Cut 3: The British Censorship of From Russia with Love from research by Gavin Salkeld  

A few interesting notes. Reader Gavin Salkeld got my attention last week by offering an update to an old (1997!) Savant article about the jump cut at the end of the 2nd James Bond film From Russia With Love. Gavin shares access to some revealing British Board of Film Classification documents that more or less close the door on the mystery of the missing dialogue line as well as the jump cut itself. Please check it out, and perhaps you might want to take a look at some of the other old Savant articles. A few have dated but several are still very popular.

Savant is traveling this week, which means that the DVD Savant site will more likely than not remain unchanged until next week, Wednesday or Thursday. I'll have new reviews then, and if I get the opportunity I'll update this column from from the road. I'm normally a confirmed homebody, so we'll see how I take to this adventure ... we'll talk when I get back. Thanks for reading! Glenn Erickson
