Extremely disappointing sequel.......2007-06-16

Granted most sequels don't live up to the original, this one was a travesty. None of the characters behave remotely the same as in the original. I can easily imagine Tommy Lee Jones' Captain Call letting himself be shot rather than run thru sagebrush in his longjohns. And the character of Clara as played by Anjelica Huston would never act as neurotic and fearful as the Clara in this movie. They turned two very strong and memorable characters into weak and whiny non-entities.

And the ending is ridiculous, given his choices the one Newt makes is so out of character that it's sad. I originally railed against McMurtry since we watched these two series almost back to back recently. When I learned he had nothing to do with this waste of time I felt very relieved. No doubt he felt like he'd been assaulted when he first saw this 'sequel'.

Jon Voigt did okay with what was given to him, he's not Tommy Lee Jones but the main problem was the script. Similarly, Barbara Hershey convinced me she was whiny, petulant and abruptly unable to fend for herself. Louis Gossett shined, like he does no matter how bad the script, he's a very underrated actor in my opinion. And Nia Peeples is both convincing and attractive but her character was mishandled as well.

**slight spoiler**

If you don't like to see violence done to children do not watch this movie. I was appalled at what happened; granted you have to make the audience really loathe the villain but that was just unnecessary.

I can't recommend this, even as a rental, if you've seen the original. If you haven't then none of my points will apply and you may enjoy it.

Damaged Package for DVD.......2007-01-06

DVD came in the mail ripped up. DVD lose inside package.

Return to Lonesome Dove.......2006-11-03

An excellent movie, close to -- but not quite -- as engrossing as the original. Jon Voight did a fine job. My original thought was that he would suffer by comparison with Tommy Lee Jones, but he handled the character beautifully. As in the original, supporting roles were well cast and added to the "flavor" of the movie and its time.

3 stars for trying so hard.......2006-10-03

I have returned to this mini-series after over a decade. I bought Lonesome Dove on DVD a while back and enjoyed it more than I did on my initial viewing. I was not as fond of "Return" when it first aired for a few reasons: The absence of Robert Duvall's Augustus McCrae, Tommy Lee Jones not returning, and a somewhat retreaded narrative. After watching "Return" again, these elements are still problematic but the movie tries so hard to re-capture the spirit of Lonesome Dove that it does manage to succeed on its own merit. One does wonder if, instead of replacing the missing cast members with new actors (or new characters in the case of William Petersen's McCrae like character for example) it had focused on what it did have, namely Rick Schroeder and the Hat Creek Outfit. There are some early appearances of some soon to be famous actors such as Reese Witherspoon and Dennis Haysbert. I might have liked this better if it had just been its own film instead of an over-reaching sequel.

they drive by night.......2007-01-29

I love everything he does. Too bad they don't have "bad" guys with principles anymore.

Terrific films but if you bought these separately you've got the same set without the cardboard holding box.......2006-12-13

It's the holidays so what better thing to do than package up previously released films and a couple of previously released older Bogart classics? Warner has done a good job here combining two of Bogie's finest films "Casablanca" and "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" along with "They Drive By Night" and Bogie's starmaking performance as bad guy Ray earle in "High Sierra" (perhaps a sense of humor as well from those who combined this with "Sierra Madre" where Bogie plays a very different iconic role).

John Huston may be America's most consistently brilliant filmmaker. That's saying a lot considering the competition but Huston the son of actor Walter Huston tackled a number of genres with intelligence, a cynical wit and a sharp eye for human behavior. John Huston began as a screenwriter with one of his first jobs working on "Murders in the Rue Morgue" for Robert Florey in 1932 (that's not counting his many appearances as an extra in his father's films). By 1941 he found himself in the director's chair for the first of many collaborations with Humphrey Bogart in "The Maltese Falcon".

"The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" was only Huston's sixth credited film as director and it still stands tall in his 47 film career as director. The story of three men in search of gold in the mountains of Mexico and how greed and paranoia overwhelm the three men (Bogart, Walter Huston and Bruce Bennett) contributing to tragedy sounds like something that should be a folk tale warning of how gold can bring out the worst in a man.

"Sierra Madre" and "Casablanca" both look terrific with crisp, sharp looking images. Warner has done a superb job of cleaning up both these classic films. "Sierra Madre" doesn't look quite as good as "Casablanca" with sections that are grainy, white spots and other minor analog imperfections but on the whole looks quite good. The grainy quality of the film in a couple of scenes doesn't surprise me given some of the location photography and the occasional use of telephoto shots where the picture is a bit unsteady. Overall "Casablanca" wins this contest in terms of looks but it's somehow appropriate that "Sierra Madre" looks a bit rough around the edges given the cynical nature, location photography and a feeling as close to naturalistic as Hollywood could do at the time. Considering how old the film is I personally feel it looks extremely good in this deluxe edition from Warner.

"Casablanca" actually looks better. Digitally cleaned up with a superior negative used for this edition it's one of the sharpest looking older films I've seen Warner put out. Audio for both films sounds extremely good doing justice to the musical scores for each film and features clear dialogue.

"High Sierra" was originally released to DVD in a single disc edition in 2003. This is exactly the same release as before. Warner released a top notch transfer for 2003 and it still looks extremely good three years later. Audio has considerable punch.

"They Drive By Night" gets a very nice transfer as well. Again it was previously released in 2003 and it's a minor gem from director Raoul Walsh. Audio sounds fine here as well with dialogue presented very clear.

The 2003 releases have two short but informative featurettes that Warner put together for the original snapcase releases back in 2003. Both are extremely good and worthwhile to watch. "Casablanca" actually has all the same materials that I reviewed in 2003 (although I can't find the link for some reason) so I'll briefly provide highlights of this set. We get a TV adaptation of the film which was produced in the 50's. It's most notable for reminding you how great the movie is. It's comparable to watching a high school production of a Broadway play you've seen. The documentary on Bogart which is narrated by Bacall Bogie's romantic lead in film and life provides an excellent if superficial background. There's no dirt but that's not a surprise. Warner cartoon short "Carrotblanca" a somewhat anemic spoof of the film shows up here as well with Bugs playing Bogie and various Warner characters filling the other character roles. A solid documentary is also included on the making of the film and deleted scenes (without the audio) which was recently discovered.

"Treasure" has lots of great stuff buried on the second disc and some fool's gold as well. The older documentary on Huston narrated by Robert Mitchum is a gem and while its not warts and all it's about as close as you're likely to get in the way of a kiss and tell biography on film about this legendary hell raiser. The second on the making of the film features some nice interviews and trivia but isn't quite what I had hoped. It's not bad just doesn't have as many gold nuggets as I expected. We also get a Bogie trailer collection, along with "8 Ball Bunny" which is a classic and funny short that references the film (Faux Bogie: "Excuse me could you help a fellow American down on his luck?" Bugs: "Hit the road!"). We get a Warner Night Out hosted by Leonard Maltin with lots of cool stuff that you might have seen if you had attended the theater to see this when it was released. Finally we get a collection of photos, a radio broadcast of "Treasure" featuring Bogie and Walter Huston, a second cartoon, storyboards and behind-the-scenes photos.

Bottom line: If your film fan hasn't purchased these separate this is a great set. However if you did buy any of these titles individually I should warn you there's nothing here that's new. Unlike the second Bogie set which does have some films that hadn't been released to DVD before (the gem in that set is "The Maltese Falcon" in a three disc special edition but there are also some worthwhile Bogie gold in that set as well. There's no fool's gold but as with any set the quality of the gold will vary).

By turns hard-nosed and ribald, They Drive by Night smashes through a vintage Warner Bros. yarn about truck drivers, the Depression, and one duplicitous dame. The opening reels are a forceful look at the dangerous lives of independent truckers (George Raft and Humphrey Bogart as brothers--Bogie in the supporting role, though he would soon eclipse Raft in Hollywood), battling the system and the economy. The final section veers into a less exciting murder frame-up, but Ida Lupino is so delicious as the Black Widow, it works. The robust humor of director Raoul Walsh dominates the film, with some truly hilarious double entendres aimed at outfoxing the censors. At the center of many such one-liners is Ann Sheridan, as a waitress who slings more than hash. It's close to being a classic, and the road sequences are as vital as those in The Grapes of Wrath, made the same year. --Robert Horton

Description

George Raft and Humphrey Bogart share a driving ambition in They Drive by Night, a feisty tale of brothers trying to make a go of their independent trucking enterprise. Ann Sheridan plays a truck-stop waitress who can dish both the daily special and the patter. And Ida Lupino is the headstrong executive who mixes business and romance with murder. With Bogart again riding shotgun en route to leading-man stardom (a stature he would achieve the following year) and Raft handling the wheel in one of his best roles of the decade, this fine example of Warner Bros. social-conscience filmmaking (directed by Raoul Walsh) proved a sturdy vehicle for both actors. The movie proved even more fortuitous for Lupino. Her courtoom scene of babbling derangement made her a celebrated "overnight" sensation that resulted in a seven-year studio contract for her. Year: 1940 Director: Raoul Walsh Starring: George Raft, Ann Sheridan, Ida Lupino, Humphrey Bogart, Special Feature: Original Theatrical Trailer B&W/93 Mins.

Before Bogey was a legend.......2007-04-11

It was a pleasure seeing Ida Lupino in this, her first significant role at age 22. She is sexy, pretty and more than a bit nasty. Sometimes dubbed "the poor man's Bette Davis" she shows here that she could have handled some of Davis's roles very well.

The story itself is a tale about truck drivers that pits them against the loan sharks and emphasizes the danger of driving without much sleep on roads not yet of Interstate quality. It takes place in California in the late thirties. Lupino plays Lana Carlsen, the bored wife of the head of a trucking company who only has eyes for Joe Fabrini (George Raft), who only has eyes for Cassie Hartley (Ann Sheridan). Humphrey Bogart plays his brother Paul Fabrini and really takes a backseat. That would change beginning the next year when Bogey would star with Ida Lupino in High Sierra (1941).

It is interesting to contrast the two films both directed by long time Hollywood legend Raoul Walsh. They Drive by Night has a distinct thirties feel to it and not just because George Raft stars. The sense of the Depression is still with the characters in TDBN as the truck drivers and waitress Cassie worry about their jobs. There is a sense of identification with the working man that is absent from High Sierra, which really began Bogart's tough guy movie persona.

Alan Hale (235 acting credits at IMDb!) plays Lana's fun-loving and clueless husband, Ed Carlsen. Roscoe Karns provides some wise-cracking relief as Irish McGurn, truck-driving pinball wizard. The script by Jerry Wald is full of snappy one liners like this between Joe and Cassie. He asks, "Do you believe in love at first sight?" She counters with, "It saves a lot of time." Wald later became a producer of some of Hollywood's most memorable flicks including Pride of the Yankees (1945), Mildred Pierce (1945), Key Largo (1948), The Glass Menagerie (1950), etc.

By all means see this for Ida Lupino, who to escape from the typecasting that began with this movie later went on to become one of Hollywood's first woman directors.

Solid melodramatic entertainment which borrows the second half of its plot from Archie Mayo's "Bordertown." .......2007-01-15

Bogart had an opportunity for considerably more self-expression in "They Drive By Night," a film which has remained popular with audiences not so much for its story, which is rather trivial, but for the forceful performances contributed by all its leading players and the good direction by Raoul Walsh...

Raft and Bogart are brothers who wanted to start their own trucking business and eventually succeed, but not before Bogart loses an arm in an accident and Lupino nearly sends Raft to jail for a murder she committed... The trial sequence in which her latent insanity causes her to disintegrate into hysterics on the witness stand is one of the screen's best remembered moments...

Bogart was convincing in his role as he gave way to the frustrations and bitterness of a cripple and then back again to resigned self-satisfaction as he accepted the role life had given him to play out...

Never underestimate the women.......2006-08-13

This film takes on the same material as Thieves' Highway - fruit market, torturing driving hours, occupation hazard, from loan sharks, lack of sleep, dangerous curves on the road, cars falling apart and competition from fellow drivers.

What is different here is that the elder brother Joe Fabrini(George Raft) was fortunate to have a not so secret admirer Mrs. Carson(Ida Lupino) whose uncalculating husband ran a successful truck business. A car wreck might force Joe's younger brother, Paul(Humphrey Bogart), and their only truck out of the road for good, Joe was, however, offered the enviable and stable job of traffic manager at Carson's company. Here ended Joe and Paul's lives with the highway and began their ascent on the social ladder. And a winner takes all.

In a way, the movie depicted the harsh reality faced by independent drivers as well as how obsessed love created hatred and tragedy. While the former was well established, with an element of humour and kindness shown in highway restaurant by the sweet waitress Cassie(Ann Sheridan) and truck drivers who looked out for one another. The latter love tragedy was more dramatic than realistic. That said, Ida Lupino, as the unsatisfied and troubled Mrs. Carson, gave a riveting performance. Even though I could not figure out how a bold, determined and relentless Mrs. Carson could succumb to her own conscience eventually. But the ending had a comical touch which provided Cassie (Ann Sheridan) a chance to prove that she not only had a lovable and adorable face, she had brains!

66 years after its release, I heard this film saw the last of Humphrey Bogart as a character actor. Back then, this was Ida Lupino's break that won her a 7-year studio contract. She later directed episodes of more than 20 TV series such as The Untouchables, Gilligan's Island, Bewitched and The Ghost & Mrs. Muir.

Enjoyable, And Hard To Classify.......2006-04-25

Not much action here for a "film noir" and really more of a melodrama than a crime story, but I still like this because the story's decent and it features a top-flight cast of actors who are usually fun to watch.

That cast includes George Raft, Ann Sheridan, Ida Lupino, Humphrey Bogart and Gale Page. My favorite of the group - in this film, at least - is Sheridan, a wise-cracking waitress. Raft and Bogart are truck drivers and Lupino plays the boss' wife. In here, the two women are more interesting than the men, which says a lot considering its Raft and Bogart.

Sheridan not only is easy on the eyes but delivers some great film-noir-type lines. Unfortunately, the edge is taken off her once she leave the diner and hitches a ride with Raft to Los Angeles. Bogart plays more of a low-key family man whose wife (Page) is the nice- looking, wholesome type. This is one of the last movies Bogart made before he became a star. Hence, he gets fourth billing in here. Lupino is very good as the vicious scorned woman, a role she found herself playing in a number of films.

As mentioned above, I'm not really sure how one would classify this film since there is humor, film noir, soap opera, straight drama and romance all in it. The combination makes the film interesting and recommended.

The doors made me do it!.......2005-07-17

Well, this was different. THEY DRIVE BY NIGHT (1940) begins, rather unusually, as a story of the Fabrini brothers Joe (George Raft), and younger brother Paul (Humphrey Bogart). It tells the exciting story of the life of independent truckers. See them drink cup after cup of coffee, play game after game of pinball, and make pass after pass at the pretty waitress (Ann Sheridan as Cassie) in the roadside diner. Directed by the accomplished and usually brilliant action director Raoul Walsh, the first half of THEY DRIVE is an incredibly slow-starting action movie. You can, I suppose, squeeze just so much drama out of things when the biggest threat is drowsiness and the biggest enemy is a little fellow trying to collect on a note for the Fabrini truck. Bogart and Raft have good rapport - they look and act enough like brothers - and Walsh was in his element with tough loving men and tough talking women, but this one really takes its time before it develops any forward momentum.

Fortunately, THEY DRIVE BY NIGHT is hijacked at the midpoint by Ida Lupino, who proceeds to steal the movie from everyone else for the duration. Lupino plays Lana Carlsen, wife of big Ed Carlsen (Alan Hale), who, through circumstances best left unspoken, finds himself in a position to offer Joe a job with his trucking company. Big Ed Carlsen, in the best tradition of crime thriller husbands, is oblivious to the, er, tension between friend Joe and wife Lana. Ed Carlsen is one of those types who talks too loud, drinks too much, and laughs too hard at his own jokes. If you look hard enough you can usually see vultures circling high in the background the first time these guys show up in a movie. Anyway, things pick up considerably when the movie changes into its femme fatale clothes. The movie belongs to Lupino, who chews enough scenery to fill someone twice her size. What the heck, though. The part calls for it, and Lupino is every bit as good as Bette Davis would have been.

The print is in very good condition. Besides a theatrical trailer, the disk also includes a ten-minute special entitled `Divided Highway: The Story of They Drive by Night', a brief, okay introduction to the movie. Better yet is the 19-minute `Swingtime in the Movies,' a color Vitaphone short starring Fritz Feld as the autocratic, vaguely Prussian director Mr. Nitvitch. I've seen one other Nitvitch short, and they seem designed to parody directors, showcase some young actors, fill out a playbill, and show off Warner Brothers stars in the studio commissary or on the set. The youngsters in this one are Kathryn Kane and John Carroll, who Nitvitch is humorously directing in a musical western. The cameos include Pat O'Brien, Humphrey Bogart, Marie Windsor, and John Garfield.

Awesome DVD!! If you are a DBT fan but have never seen them in person,, this is pretty close.. watch this then go see them... they are even better now.. I own every thing they have ever put out and would rate ther live performance as good or better than any act I have ever seen.. including Petty, Dylan and Clapton. This band is truely underated. The imagery and mood that the music evokes is amazing. Some how they make a dark song sound how a thunderhead looks. and a sad song sound like tears at a rainy funeral.. you won't be disapointed.

Superb dvd.......2006-11-12

This is one of the best concert dvd's I have. You surely can find other titles with better audio and picture, with musicians with better technique and better hairstyle but we're talking about ROCK'N'ROLL, and this dvd is everything a ROCK'N'ROLL fan really needs: great songs played with passion by a brave and inspired band.

This One Sold Me..........2006-09-09

I watched this DVD having only heard of the DBT's and never hearing any songs. I only knew they were Southern. I was mesmerized from the get go! Then, after each frontman sang his piece, I was floored. Was this the same band? Each tune was a little different as all three guitar players, Patterson, Cooley and Jason each write and sing their own songs. I immediately went out and bought "A Blessing and a Curse", "The Dirty South" and 2 tickets to the show in D.C. That's the impact of this DVD.

WOW---CANT TURN IT OFF.......2006-03-17

This is one of the best, if not the best concert ROCK bands to
come along in awhile. Mike"Cooley" and Jason have great voices, and play one hell of a guitar. Patterson Hood's voice is very distincive and sets the band far apart from other bands in the industry. Shawna and Easy "B" round out one hell of a great rock band.
Where else can you go to a rock concert and have a founding member of the band marry you and your fiancee on stage durring the show?
"Cooley" is an ordaind minister as well as a Hell raising ROCKSTAR. these guys are the real deal. I just hope they hit the big time sooner so we can see them on MTV, instead of the crap they play now. I remember when MTV played rock, real rock, and these guys are real ROCK STARS.

Ounce you play this dvd you wont want to play anything else, it is that good
You can tell in the dvd, the band loves playing for the crowd and giving a great show as much as the crowd loves hearing them. true true artist who love their craft.
buy i, you wont be disapointed

Real Rock n Roll.......2006-02-28

I have listened to countless bands and attended many concerts. Folks, this is the best rock band I have ever heard. I love Skynard, Led Zep, and AC/DC just like many. But, you will not find a more mechanically rhythmic, diverse, and captivating rock band anywhere.

You may read reviews where people complain about the lighting used in this dvd - well, those people have never been to the 40 Watt. Others say some really good songs were missing. That is true, but they have so many great songs it would be hard to fit them all. This is a must have for fans of the band and for fans of great rock n roll.

They Drive By Night.......2007-06-25

Raoul Walsh's riveting cult classic has a little bit of everything: romance, murder, blue-collar drama, and memorably saucy, censor-defying repartee between hard-driving hero Raft and Ann Sheridan, a waitress with a "classy chassis" who becomes his favorite roadside attraction. Bogie's sterling in a minor role, but the film really belongs to Lupino, the venomous vixen who resorts to desperate measures to rid herself of coarse hubbie Ed, heartily played by Hale (real life dad of the skipper on "Gilligan's Island"!). A great road movie by the legendary director of "High Sierra."

A fabulous noir drama, THEY DRIVE BY NIGHT featured one of Bogart's best pre-"Maltese Falcon" performances; and introduced audiences to Ida Lupino, playing a society dame driven to murder and madness.

The story, based on a novel called "The Long Haul" by A.I. Bezzerides, concerns the Fabrini brothers. Joe (George Raft) and Paul (Humphrey Bogart) are truckdrivers, who spend their days and nights hauling loads up and down the freeway. Tired of working for tight-fisted road managers, they decide to break out on their own, but shortly after establishing themselves, Paul is severely injured after falling asleep at the wheel. Joe goes back to work for Ed Carlsen (Alan Hale), a kindly industrialist. Ed's younger wife Lana (Ida Lupino) shamelessly lusts after Joe, but he'll have nothing to do with her. Frustrated and desperate, Lana kills Ed in a last-bid attempt to attract Joe, only to discover he's about to marry his sweetheart, Cassie Hartley (Ann Sheridan). Driven to the brink of madness, Lana implicates Joe in Ed's murder...

THEY DRIVE BY NIGHT is one of the best noir dramas from the golden years of Warner Brothers. Ida Lupino delivers a sensational breakout performance as Lana Carlsen ("The doors made me do it...the doors made me do it!!!"); and Ann Sheridan gets some zingy lines playing waitress Cassie. Raft and Bogart have a great rapport and really do feel like brothers here.

This was one of the last films in which Bogart found himself playing second-fiddle. The following year he headlined "High Sierra" (again with Ida Lupino); before landing the role that would cement his superstardom, Sam Spade in "The Maltese Falcon".

The DVD includes a new "Making of..." featurette; the vintage VitaPhone short "Swingtime in the Movies", and the trailer. (Single-sided, dual-layer disc).

A Hidden Gem!.......2001-04-12

They Drive by Night was so much fun to discover! Anyone who likes old movies will enjoy seeing this one. With Bogie as George Raft's little brother, working together as truckers, and the wonderfully wicked Ida Lupino married to the blissfully ignorant Alan Hale, this movie was a joy to watch from start to finish.

Dynamic Lupino!.......2000-06-23

When I first watched this movie, I was only mildly interested in the first part which shows how hard life is for two trucker brothers (Raft and Bogart). Only when Ida Lupino is introduced as the off-kilter, man-killing Lana Carlson did I really sit up and take notice. She continued to steal all her scenes as she degenerates into madness after killing her buffoon of a husband for the cold Raft character. Her gradual breakdown is something to see and electrified audiences in l940. When she begins to shriek on the witness stand: "The doors made me do it!", you freeze in amazement at her powerful acting. Her "mad" scene was phenomenal. A note: compare her portrayal of the man-crazed heroine to the way Bette Davis portrayed her in the original, the l934 "Bordertown". Davis always bragged that the quiet way she went crazy on the stand was the right way but after seeing how Lupino did it, you'll think that Davis was wrong. Sorry, Bette, but Lupino did it a l00 times better and a hell of a lot more powerful. Lana Carlson--one mixed-up, crazy dame from Warner Brother's golden days--thanks to the genius of Ida Lupino!

Watch Lupino Go.......2000-04-08

They Drive By Night has a lot going for it. It's directed by Raoul Walsh, who knew how to make a tough guy movie, yet give it some heart. It has two of the screen's great tough guys, George Raft and Humphrey Bogart. It also has two of the screen's best tough guy girlfriends, Ann Sheridan and Ida Lupino. And it has some really great dialogue that time has not dated. It's the story of two truckers who are brothers, and it looks at the difficulties facing truckers (sleeplessness that can lead to accidents, suppliers that don't pay up, etc). Bogart and Raft are good as the brothers, although Raft doesn't have much of a range as an actor. Raft hooks up with Sheridan, a woman who can hold her own with any trucker. Sheridan plays her with just the right mix of outward toughness, but decency and tenderness, too. Unfortunately, Lupino wants Raft, and she won't be denied what she wants. Lupino gives the performance that you'll remember from this film. She becomes more intense with every scene, and by her last scene, she reaches a level that is amazing to behold. With Lupino's performance and the great dialogue, They Drive By Night is a Warner Brothers' film that should be seen.

great movie of the gang bang in the hood........2003-06-21

this is a very good movie about a barrio that is involved by gangs that control it. the movie pertains to one main character a teenage boy that is in high school and his uncle was killed recently because of a gang. also his living brother that is older is the main man of a gang and does not want his little brother to be in the gang. this movie is for any person who wants to see some action and a great film. its a must see.

....at least Latino actors are getting paid........2002-08-20

I love movies that feature people of color in Chicago, but this is no "Love Jones" or "Soul Food." This was just a low-budget "Boyz N the Hood" set in Little Village. The actors aren't as hot as the men in "The Street King." This movie veres on the long side and has many subplots that lead nowhere. Even the "drive by" of the title is not significant. This movie is filled with violent deeds such as gang-initiation rape, murder-suicide, and several homicides, but the acting is so terrible that it becomes funny, rather than sad. Every man in this film sports a leather jacket: c'mon! Chicago isn't that cold! There's one great scene where a mother loses it at her son's funeral. I'm glad Latino actors and Latina actresses are getting hired and paid, but this movie was on the poor side.

How do you ruin a good novel?.......2005-09-01

Answer: You begin by sort of reading a novel, then think that you can do a better job with it. Make up some stuff you think your sponsors would like. And delete some stuff you don't think is important to the overall plot (because you didn't understand why the author put it in his book in the first place.)

I always expect "dramatizations" to be lousy and this has lived up to that expectation marvelously. It's lucky that Nevil Shute is dead or else this would have surely killed him.

The screenwriter changed ALOT:
1. The Holocaust is never mentioned in the novel. So all the scenes in the movie concerning that is fanfic by the screenwriters.
2. In the novel, Carl is well-liked by the other lumbermen. In fact, he serves as the camp doctor.
3. In the novel, the local doctor is rather supportive, though cautiously, of Carl---to the point where he writes to the British Medical Association about making an exemption for Carl.
4. In the novel there is a very important subplot about Carl trying to find the identity of a "Charlie Zlinter" who lived and died in the Howqua 50 years earlier. The screenwriters obviously discarded Shute's plot for the NAZI one.

It's a wonder the screenwriter didn't do some more "improvements".

So do yourself a favor and honor Mr. Shute by reading the book, instead of filling your brain with this tripe.

This Film Has A Great Message.......2001-12-28

I saw this film when I was young, and am quite happy to find it again. It is the story of a doctor who was forced to join the German Army during WWII, and later moved to Australia, hoping to escape the memories and prejudice of war. After attempting to save the life of a logging man, the community discovers he was in the German Army, and he is threatened with deportation.
I can't give away the ending, but the message is real and heart felt. Definitely worth watching.
