An unfairly overlooked film gets a solid high-def release from Kino Lorber.
The book allows us to construct our own understanding of Dahl and his oeuvre of weird, inventive, and wickedly funny narratives.
This is a a morality play that only sees in black and white.
The film casts Kirk Douglas as a selfish artist who gets his comeuppance, but it’s a theme that smacks of bullshit.
