Movie Reviews of The Americanization of Emily
Movie Review: a good war film, no matter what side you take
Summary: 5 Stars
Being a Julie Andrews fan under 30, I wasn't alive to see most of her films the first time around. I have seen them all, bar two. She isn't the greatest actor; we must all admit that. Saying this, despite being only her second on-screen role -- filmed between "Mary Poppins" and "The Sound of Music" -- "The Americanization of Emily" is by far her best film. The dashing James Garner has considerable acting ability to match his good looks.
The best part about this war movie is that it doesn't take sides; it accepts the fact that people go to war, whether they like it or not. What it does depend on heavily is that war changes all the people directly involved. War is intrinsically a life-altering experience. This movie has its cheesier moments, but overall I enjoy that it focuses on a love story rather than graphic realism. It's a breath of fresh air amidst today's "super-realist" war films.
Summary of The Americanization of Emily
Screenwriter Paddy Chayefsky (Marty) sinks his satirical fangs into this story of an American naval officer (James Garner) selected to be the first victim at the invasion of Normandy. Julie Andrews plays a prim, British war widow who falls for him. Cynical in tone, the story becomes an interesting collision of manipulative interests and renewed life, the same formula that worked so well in Chayefsky's scripts for Network and Hospital. --Tom KeoghAn American naval officer, in London during WW II, falls in love with his British military driver.
