Garv’s Pick of the Week: Pandora and the Flying Dutchman [Blu-ray / Cohen Film Collection]: If you like high concept dramas, this week was tailor-made for you.  At the top of the heap is the 4K restoration of one of the most visually sumptuous and fantastically ethereal screen romances, starring the stunningly beautiful Ava Gardner and James Mason.  The disc includes a bonus feature by the same director — the rarely seen The Living Idol (1957).
