Greetings! Savant's new reviews today are

The big 3D Exhibition has begun at the Egyptian in Hollywood, and so far Savant's been talked into going to see CEASE FIRE and DOOM TOWN next Sunday, the last night of the series. To my surprise, I've been told that there are plenty of seats at most screenings, so it might be a good last-minute entertainment of choice!

Great news from Facets Video - - in October they're releasing the Czech comedy-Fantasy WHO WANTS TO KILL JESSIE?, a 1966 movie about comic characters who come to life and have to survive in the real world - even though their only means of communication is through literal written dialogue balloons. Star Olga Shoberová made a couple of international films, including THE VENGEANCE OF SHE, as Olinka Berova.

Also, a long-unseen John Cromwell movie called SO ENDS OUR NIGHT made early in 1941 from an Erich Maria Remarque story about Nazi terror, is coming out from VCI. A screener for that one is on the way. I only remember one gripping scene of Fredric March being cornered, and have never forgotten it. I hope the copy is good ...

That's just about it for the moment ... I should have reviews for JIGOKU and JAPAN's LONGEST DAY up on Saturday. Thanks, Glenn Erickson
