It looks like three reviews today, but it's really nine, so Savant's sense of guilt isn't as acute as it might be. I'm hoping to have the Preston Sturges Boxed Set reviewed by next Tuesday, what with the holiday coming up and all.
My news from a good but unofficial source is that John Huston's The Kremlin Letter missed its street date of Nov. 7 not for legal reasons but because the transfer quality didn't pass muster with Fox Home Video. That's a very good sign and typical of that company's overall commitment to quality. We certainly hope that Kremlin catches up with us sooner than later -- it's a Savant favorite along with (please, please) the international version of Fox's The Sicilian Clan.
I'm off to see (I hope) a new Paul Verhoeven film tonight. It's his first in decades made back in Holland, so I'll be excited to see what he comes up with ... Thanks for reading! Glenn Erickson
