Nicholas Ray’s CinemaScope detour into outlaw Americana is yet another sincere artistic effort muffled by studio interference. Ray sought to examine a legend in terms of folklore and celebrity. Fox just wanted a cheap remake of its 1939 hit and undermined the director all the way. It’s a potentially great film marred by clumsy reshoots and re-edits.

I’m not sure we’ll get every story of heroism, bravery, and ingenuity that made World War II so endlessly fascinating, but by now we seem to have gotten the best of them. The war had a scope involving millions of people on a global scale never seen before so the stories of the atrocities and acts of mercy continue to be uncovered and justly celebrated. And yet, one of the most enduring tales was not about a battle. Instead, the true story of the massive escape from Germany’s Stalag Luft III demonstrates a never-say-die attitude that demoralized the enemy. Thinking themselves clever, the Nazis collected their most troublesome prisoners and placed them in one facility, thinking they would be able to keep a better eye on them. They were all officers and treated a such, with the expectation that they would not cause trouble.

Michael Berryman takes residence in The Tenant.
The 2010 science-fiction thriller The Tenant, starring horror movie legend Michael Berryman (The Devil’s Rejects) and Bill Cobbs (Get Low), arrived on DVD on Aug. 16 from Indican for a list price of $24.99.
Written and directed by Ric La Monte (Night Terror), the film tells the tale of altruistic doctor Walter Newman (Randy Molnar), who attempts to cure human deformities through DNA splicing, an obsession he works on via experimentation on patients at the Edgewood Asylum.
Newman ignores both his pregnant wife Olivia (Georgia Christ) and a scheming nurse (Sylvia Boykin) with an evil agenda, and everything goes horribly wrong when Olivia delivers their twins — one, a beautiful baby girl; the other, a deformed creature that defies nature.
Twenty-five years later, a group of teens and their driver break down on a dark road and find shelter in an old abandoned building, which just...
