Greetings! Savant's new reviews today are

It's a foreign film weekend at DVD Savant, highlighting the continuing efforts of NoShame and New Yorker to edgeu ... edzu, eduk --- teach us a few things about film history. In other brief news, a hint in this week's Criterion newsletter says 'move over Lugosi, make room for Karloff,' which we guess is their way of leaking the news that Richard Gordon's English thrillers The Haunted Strangler and Corridors of Blood are on the way in presumably terrific Criterion editions. Corridors has some legendary surgical scenes that the existing Image DVD ellipses with a crude splice; it'll be interesting to get the straight dope on that picture. And if I remember correctly Christopher Lee has fun with a Bill Sykes-like thug character named Resurrection Joe. Tom Weaver has said that the discs may be out in January or February. Can Richard Gordon's First Man Into Space and The Atomic Submarine be far behind?

The photo above is a simple vanity offering. Out of 500 snaps of a vacation road trip a couple are bound to be good, if only by accident. This is the Grand Canyon between rain showers early in August. Thanks for reading! Glenn Erickson
