This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews and articles including: Alibi Ike - Joe E. Brown wins ball games and woos Olivia de Havilland (in her first film) in this funny baseball comedy, with William Frawley, Roscoe Karns and a number of actual big league ball players. And wait 'til you see Brown's insane pitching style -- !; Two Films by Ozu - Yasujiro Ozu's first talking picture The Only Son and a wartime drama he made six years later, There Was a Father, are two similarly-themed masterpieces of parental sacrifice and commitment; and The Girl-Getters - Oliver Reed leads a pack of enterprising young men who use "The System" to sweep girls off their feet at a summer seashore resort. But Reed meets his match in Jane Merrow, a thoroughly modern "thrush" with her own ideas about using people. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.

The 15th Annual San Francisco Silent Film Festival took place from July 15-18th, 2010 and DVDTalk writer John Sinnott was there to cover the event. Over the course of the festival 12 features were screened in addition to a good number of shorts (which were shown before each movie) and three presentations by film archivists and silent film musicians. Held in the Castro Theater, an old movie palace built in 1922 and has a wonderful Wurlitzer pipe organ dating from 1925, all of the films feature live music by an amazing array of talented musicians, which is how they were originally seen. Read John's full coverage of the festival here.
