Movie Reviews of Watch on the Rhine
Movie Review: Outstanding work
Summary: 5 Stars
Outstanding work by all involved.
Emotionally gripping and well constructed play by Lillian Hellman.
Superb direction considering almost the whole plot takes place in a single room. The rather drone like commentary has little do with the film making and is more about Hellman's history and politics..
Summary of Watch on the Rhine
AN AUTHENTIC REGION 1 DVD FROM WARNER BROTHERS. Lillian Hellman's 1941 stage hit (adapted by Dashiell Hammett) retains its emotional and intellectual power in this suspenseful movie awarded the New York Film Critics 1943 Best Picture prize, and lauded as "a distinguished film, full of sense, power and beauty" by the NY Times. The praiseworthy film about standing up for what is right, at all odds, stars Paul Lukas repeating his Broadway triumph as Kurt Muller, a German underground leader who arrives with his family in Washington, DC and soon finds the tentacles of Nazi terror have a very long reach. Lukas' passionate performance earned him an Oscar, beating out Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca and Gary Cooper in For Whom the Bell Tolls. Bette Davis, who took on the film because she believed in its importance, portrays Mullers wife with ringing integrity. Lucile Watson as a socialite whose complacency is shaken out of the magnolias and George Colouris as a shady blackmailer also memorably reprise their stage roles. The film was nominated for 3 Academy Awards, including Best Picture. BONUS FEATURES: * Commentary by film historian Bernard F.
