I read the book many years ago, but had to wait over 30 years to see this movie. Two culprits can be blamed for that long exile: Texas and Michael Jackson. The Michael Jackson angle has to do with some Beatles music being used in part of the soundtrack and the high rate of royalties necessary to liberate their use (hopefully, the DVD will have this). The Texas angle comes from the Brits portraying Texans as some square-dancing, KKK-style, Bible-belt wackos. I live in Texas and as a spymovie fanatic in the Sixties, I could not understand how I missed this movie. Viewing revealed all. If this movie was shown anywhere in Texas back then, it would have been boycotted like a post-Lennon diatribe Beatles record. The Russians (make that commie b*st*rds) seem to be the only ones competent, while...

THE ADVENTURES OF BULLWHIP GRIFFIN, a western comedy-rouser from Disney, gets it's long awaited DVD debut. Roddy McDowall, Suzanne Pleshette and Karl Malden (all veterans of Disney live action films) lead the impressive cast.

Hot on the heels of What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?, Bette Davis slipped neatly into another juicy thriller. This time, instead of co-starring with Joan Crawford, she got to play opposite... herself. Dead Ringer casts Davis as a wealthy (and nasty) widow, and also as her slatternly (but good) twin sister, long estranged. When the poor sister discovers the depths of her sib's evil, she takes a dramatic step that will test her skills as a thespian. Davis's old leading man, Paul Henreid, directs this material at a leaden pace, but Davis gives such a brazen performance, she pulls it through. Plus, the moments of high trash (a red-hot poker rammed into a hand, a lethal dog attack) are easily savored. Peter Lawford's seedy playboy and Karl Malden's stolid cop fill out the key...
