Greetings! Savant's new reviews today are

Adventures of Superman: The Complete Third and Fourth Seasons  Warners
Yi Yi  Criterion and
Leonard Bernstein's New York  Kultur

Hello again ... just getting back into the reviewing work while still pretending I'm on vacation -- the long naps are just to catch up with my sleep! Warners just announced lavish boxed sets for the fall with Paul Newman (Harper, The Drowning Pool, The Left-Handed Gun, The Mackintosh Man, Pocket Money, Somebody Up There Likes Me, The Young Philadelphians), Gary Cooper (Sergeant York, The Fountainhead, Springfield Rifle, The Wreck of the Mary Deare, Dallas) and Marlon Brando (Mutiny on the Bounty, Julius Caesar, The Formula, Reflections in a Golden Eye, Teahouse of the August Moon), whch are bound to keep us busy. We're hoping that Mutiny on the Bounty will have some cut scenes that were shown on one of its network television airings, and sad that one of the best Westerns ever, The Hanging Tree was not included in the Gary Cooper box. Perhaps it's being saved for something special, like Newman's The Silver Chalice. Just kidding. Glenn Erickson
