Editorial Product Review: :The Hot Spot is best known to lecherous film buffs for Jennifer Connelly's topless scene, but this sultry southern noir deserves more than prurient interest. It's arguably Dennis Hopper's best directorial effort (OK, so that's not saying much), and Charles Williams's source novel Hell Hath No Fury finds Hopper in a comfortable B-movie milieu, riffing on Double Indemnity with an overripe tale of sex, greed, and blackmail in an unnamed Texan town. Fresh from the final season of Miami ...
Editorial Product Review: :This first half of the 1967 original, 26-episode British television series (which aired on PBS two years later and inspired the creation of Masterpiece Theatre) is both literary soap opera and sprawling, Dickensian tale of love, money, and destiny fatefully intertwined. Set in the late Victorian era, the early chapters of The Forsyte Saga (based on several works by John Galsworthy) merrily buzz with a large and hopelessly confusing roster of Forsyte kin, most creaking with age and cackling ...

Editorial Product Review: :The latter half of the 26-episode Forsyte Saga, a sensational 1967 British television series that drew a faithful international audience, contains most of the sprawling drama's poignancy and resonance. As the Victorian-era characters from Forsyte's earlier hours grow grayer, more mellow, and certainly regretful, their children take wing-finding their own way, and making their own mistakes under the rubric of an old family's myths and legacies. The outstanding cast of younger Forsytes includes Susan Hampshire as Fleur, daughter of ...

'Be good to her and she'll be good to you,' says the guard. Immediately after, Bill is double-crossed by his girlfriend and his partner.
