Greetings! Savant's new reviews today are
The Blue Angel, Love Me Tonight, The Good Fairy,
Lured, Pandora and the Flying Dutchman
Kino and
Sweetie Criterion
It's here ... Savant has a little holiday shopping done but not as much as he should. But this is always a great time of year, anticipating the family all coming home from school, etc. Good luck on finals!
Upcoming reviews: The Dean Martin Double Feature, The Conformist, The Wild Blue Yonder, Superman II The Richard Donner Cut, Red Angel and Lotna. I've also just learned that the TCM Archives: Forbidden Hollywood Collection Volume 1 is on the way; it contains Baby Face, Red Headed Woman and Waterloo Bridge.
Still no sign of Blood of the Vampire/The Hellfire Club, She or Things to Come but maybe they'll be along in time. I also hope that the orphaned The Kremlin Letter will catch up with us soon. It's been a great fall.
Saw The Illusionist last week and thought it was very well made and acted, but difficult to really become involved in. The 'illusions' were so outrageously impossible that it seemed altogether too easy to guess what was going on ... especially because bad endings in romantic movies are so rare in new films, especially period pictures. Just the same, a handsome production. Thanks for reading, Glenn Erickson
