Is that with James Garner .....one of the most moving films I've ever seen...the music init is also bang on....I just love" All I want to do is make love to you "....:)
I went with friends to this movie. I always got outvoted on what movies we'd see. :)
I ended up liking it a LOT! Huge thanks to both James Marsden (hot!) and Gena Rowlands. To me, the movie succeeds (almost) solely because of Gena Rowlands. To me, she adds a much-needed grittiness and realism to the, up to her entrance, mushy love story. :) That's just my thought on the movie. I doubt if anyone would agree with me, with how much everyone really loves the movie.

Yeah, I stayed with the story easily, too. I do admit that I've always been a fan of both Marsden and Rowlands, so I was in their corner from the moment I saw both of them in the movie. :)
Oh, and I just posted a long question about "The Notebook," ha! :)
Montgomery Clift was achingly breathtaking in that movie ("Judgment at Nuremberg"). Just want to go and give him a hug and say that things will be OK.

Director Keith Gordon based his excellent script for "A Midnight Clear" on the book by William Wharton, who had been seriously wounded in the Battle of the Bulge towards the end of WWII. He wrote of an American Intelligence team which came upon a team of young German soldiers, desperate to surrender to the Americans, in order to survive Germany's last offensive. He wrote of fear and suspicion, pain and loss, friendship and hope and a snow-ball fight. And of the agreement to save the lives of the Germans, which went horribly wrong. A haunting, disturbing war movie without much war, looking tenderly at those who go to kill and be killed, and gently painting a truth: There are no real victors; all are wounded by war's inherent, random cruelty.
