Movie Reviews of The Clock

Movie Review: i absolutely loved it!
Summary: 5 Stars

THE CLOCK was a great romance that came out toward the final days of WWII and it was so incredibly heartwarming and charming. Judy Garland of course was sincerely great as the woman secretary Alice who accidently bumps into Robert Walker's character at Grand Central Station. They spend the afternoon and night together, fall in love, and get married the next day basically racing time before Robert Walker's character's leave is up. I love the whole concept of love in 24 hours marriage in 48 hours & although they have to part at the end perhaps temporarily or forever you still have a little smile on your face knowing that the two had such a awesome time being in love. I love this movie and finally it is out on DVD took long enough =)

Movie Review: A true classic of the WWII era!
Summary: 5 Stars

I cannot say enough about this wonderfully nostalgic film. Judy Garland doesn't sing a note, and it may well be her best performance ever. Watch for the scene in the church as proof and for the scene where Judy kisses Robert for the first time and her eyebrow gives a cute little twitch. Robert Walker is perfectly cast and adds just the right amount of innocence to his role. Together they make movie chemistry magic! For all fans of classic films or of the WWII generation, be sure to see this heartwarming, often funny, and always charming movie.

Movie Review: The Clock
Summary: 5 Stars

Minnelli's sentimental, spirited and touching wartime romance was a small picture by MGM standards, but Garland's star power and the backdrop of bustling Manhattan (actually Hollywood sound stages) give the picture a dynamic, worldly feel. Walker is likable as the earnest hayseed, and doe-eyed Garland is grand as ever without once singing a tune. (Minnelli, of course, married Judy as soon as the film wrapped!) Great support work from James and Lucille Gleason as a milkman and wife round out this sweet film about love on a very tight schedule.

Movie Review: One of Judy's top 5 films
Summary: 5 Stars

Judy Garland was a truly talented actress. Today there seem to be so many people who force themselves onto the public claiming they can sing, dance, etc. Judy was the real deal - a great singer, great comedic talent (underrated), and what this movie showed an excellent dramatic actress. She truly never looked or sounded better than she did in this film (and she does not sing one note). This is a hidden gem that more people should see. Wizard of Oz does not define her - in fact I would call it one of her lesser films.

Movie Review: nearly perfect
Summary: 5 Stars

This is just an all around great film with beautifully photographed images and superb acting throughout. Why didn't Judy Garland make more straight dramatic pictures? The Clock was made in a day before "realism" was incorporated into movies and it is interesting to see that even when a story about everyday people is put on film by MGM, the gloss is still apparent. It is a product of its time but nonetheless beautiful to watch and very moving at times.
