| | I loved this movie | jerry 01/17/2007 | | When i was flicking the channels, I came across this movie! and I'm glad I did because Gordon Gebert is so adorable and bortrays the role as Janet Leigh's son exceptionally well! For an 8 yr old, that's impressive! But the intense love triangle gets you on the edge of your seat, especially in the scene when Carl is putting the tree up and Steve Mason turns up on the door step, then again on christmas day when Connie's parents are over and Steve is talked about bringing jealousy and suspicsion to Carl. It is so intense for me and I was truly impressed with the script. fantastic and entertaining. |

| | Battle of the Giants | 1fatts 06/16/2009 | The story is that when this movie was being shot, actors on the lot would find their way to the set to just hang out and watch the battle of the giants: Spencer Tracy and Fredric March. It was a good script; no one could direct courtroom like Stanley Kramer; nice casting; great set: but it is, in the end, March and Tracy eating the scenery and creating character.
Other good things deserve to be said about this movie, but it's watching the two actors of their generation pull out the stops that overshadows everything else. |

Cast: John Payne, Maureen O'Hara, Randolph Scott, Nancy Kelly, William Tracy, Max "Slapsie Maxie" Rosenbloom, Harry Morgan, Edmund MacDonald, Russell Hicks, Minor Watson
Another patriotic movie to inspire the American people in the early stages of WWII, this one concerns the "growing up" of a rich, brash, young man (John Payne) as the sergeant (Randolph Scott) turns him into a REAL Marine. When the chips were down after Pearl Harbor, our man was there. This is the first time audiences could see the flaming red hair of Maureen O'Hara in living color.

| | Forit 09/29/2009 | This is truly a great film for all time, especially for families to discuss the implications of suspicious insecurities we hold for people of different backgrounds.
This would be a good movie to show in places where there are no ethnic people and why we don't become friends and neighbors with other people? |
