Elaine May
For May & Nichols savants, as well as the newly initiated, this will propagate their legacies, giving us a deeper look into their individual outlooks.
In Video Dispatches we cover recent home video releases. This week, My Name is Julia Ross (1945), So Dark the Night (1946), and Mikey And Nicky (1976).

Cinematic failures appear in all shapes and sizes; some are critically acclaimed upon release only to become hated months later. Others get shunned by critics and audiences only to develop cult followings years later. In this day and age, where every other film has a sizable cult following, it is difficult to determine which films have truly earned their cult status.
