Movie Reviews of Since You Went Away
Movie Review: A Poignant View of World War II
Summary: 5 Stars
I cried my eyes out throughout most of this movie. It is set during World War II, but there are no battle scenes. Rather, it involves women on the home front, trying to deal with separation from their loved ones and striving to do their part to help the war effort. They cope with rationing. One becomes a nurse. And one becomes a factory worker. While watching this film, I could not stop thinking about all the sacrifices my parents endured during that necessary war. But had they not met in Germany where they were working for the U.S. after the war, I would not be here.Movie Review: Oh For the Good Old Days
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie was my first introduction to what life at home was like for the families who sent husbands, fathers or sons off to World War II. Yes, it is a little schmaltzy and you can pretty much guess what's going to happen next; but with a cast that includes Claudette Colbert, Joseph Cotton, Shirley Temple (as a teen), and Robert Walker -- how could it go wrong? Anyone who lived through the Forties and World War II or who grew up during the Fifties should enjoy this capsule of life at home during the war.Movie Review: Exceptionally fantastic film
Summary: 5 Stars
Oh, I am SO thrilled that this finally came out on DVD! I've yet to see it on disc, obviously, but regardless: it is an excellent film. Made me cry several times, and the family life depicted was moving and realistic. I would recommend it to just about anyone! Claudette Colbert is great as the mother, and it is neat seeing an older-at-last Shirley Temple. : ) Buy/see this wonderful movie today; can't go wrong with it on DVD!!! :DMovie Review: The four most imortant words...
Summary: 5 Stars
...since "Gone With the Wind!" is the way David O. Selznick advertised this film which imortalizes the WWII home front just as GWTW imortalized the southern home front of the Civil War. A wonderful cast, and melodramatic story give Claudette Colbert the chance to be a classy wife and mother. Get out your Kleenex, the tears will flow, especially during the last five minutes, but, don't worry, Selznick comes through in the end.
Movie Review: A MOVIE STILL TRUE TODAY
Summary: 5 Stars
PURCHASED THIS MOVIE FOR MY WIFE THAT SHE HAS SEEN SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE YEARS, BEGINNING WITH THE OLD "MILLION DOLLAR MOVIE". HAVE SEEN QUITE A BIT OF THIS BUT NEVER SAT TO WATCH IT IN ONE SITTING. IT'S REALLY MY WIFE THAT REQUESTED IT. CONSIDERING THE WAR OF TODAY, WITH THIS TAKING PLACE ON THE HOMEFRONT IN WWII, THE IMPACT ON THE FAMILIES OF THOSE SERVING STILL HOLDS TRUE TODAY.
