Movie Reviews of Varian's War
Movie Review: Pistola Pictures
Summary: 3 Stars
A good "movie of the week" production about Varian Fry ( William Hurt ), an unlikely American hero, who helps a select group of european artists and intellectuals escape Nazi and Vichy facsists during World War II. The film sheds light on the old saying "don't forget the French" in ironic fashion. Vichy complicity with the Nazis during the occupation of France in this film is testament to the mortal danger so many artists, poets, scholars and writers faced while trying to escape. There are strong performances from Lynn Redgrave and William Hurt, so I would recommend it on this merit alone.
