Movie Reviews of Incident
Movie Review: EMOTIONAL WWII PERIOD SUSPENSE AT A BARGAIN PRICE
Summary: 5 Stars
1944. War is raging in Europe & families are losing loved ones. Spouses are separated and kids are beginning to live in single-parent homes. It's wartime. And in Colorado, a camp for German POWs, has a crisis that involves not only the US Government and POWs but also the local population. This story is a gripping tale of one court battle pitting the USA against one German POW. How can this town ever provide a fair trial for this hated enemy? Who will stand up for the accused killer of the local doctor? How does one define justice? Is fair play something of a give-and-take game?
The cast is headed by fantastic, seasoned people. Their portrayals alone, make this a memorable DVD. Reluctant local attorney Harmon J. Cobb (Walter Matthau). Judge Stoddard Bell (Harry Morgan). The daughter-in-law Billie (Susan Blakely). POW Wilhelm Geiger (Peter Firth). Prosecutor (Robert Carradine). And more.
This is a carefully produced and written period drama, complete with detailed sets, scenes, costumes, props, and in every way, in every detail, down to light fixtures, a 1944 affair. It is more about the emotions of living in small town home life rather than a WWII battle story. There is emotion and war losses at home as well as at the fighting front. This is one of the best movies ever produced, that shows that struggle of civilian war experiences.
The story ends with understanding on both sides of the world conflict, of what it costs the other side. Court action, not battle action. Conflict within hearts, not with guns. Right vs might, even in Bremen, Colorado.
Historical drama done right, with a message, with emotion, in an easy to take 1944 setting. Great gift for the history or war buff.
