DVD Reviews of 36 Hours
DVD Review: Great plot, acting, and suspense
Summary: 5 Stars
A wonderful film, about a kidnapped Allie Officer who is originally convinced that WWII is over through a mamoth falsified army hospital and German ingenuity. After releasing the information of D Day's actual location, he realizes he's been duped and needs to backtrack. After many years, this film remains an under appreciated classic. Worth seeing every so often, just to watch a genre played gallantly. DVD Review: 36 Hours = 2 hours of enjoyment
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a little known WWII spy drama that has a solid plot, subtle imagery, and a very talented cast. James Garner excels as a captured US Major and Rod Taylor manages to convince us he's a German officer even though he speaks educated English through most of the movie. The smallest detail takes on big meaning in this movie and you'll need to watch it twice before you catch on. Fantastic, we've watched it 3 times and are eager to see it again!DVD Review: WWII spy movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Great, great movie. John Banner (Schultz in "Hogan's Heroes") nearly steals the end of the film.DVD Review: X-Lent Drama
Summary: 4 Stars
A nice little drama with the "What if" story. What if a key member of planning D-Day was snatched? Almost feels like it could have happened. Hard to believe plot twists mixed with plausable ones make for a fun and enjoyable movie.DVD Review: 36 Hours - WWII movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Good experience. I remember watching this movie as a kid and talking with my parents about it. I tried to find it and located it here on Amazon very quickly. The movie is in good quality and I am pleased to have it in our collection since we are WWII buffs.
Thanks!
Description of 36 Hours
Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 06/05/2007 Run time: 115 minutes Rating: PgWWII films of the '60s were often half caper-movie, with ornate and muscular missions behind enemy lines dreamed up by the likes of Alistair MacLean. The caper in 36 Hours (1965)--which was dreamed up by Roald Dahl--reverses the dynamics. A U.S. diplomatic courier (James Garner) with knowledge of the plans for D-Day is kidnapped, drugged, and taken to a sanatorium surrounded by forest. He wakes up in the presence of solicitous doctors and staff who seem to be fellow Americans and ever so happy to have him back after all those years in a coma. War's long over, of course; we won--and isn't it a good thing the Allies scrapped that first, wacky invasion plan they almost used? The plan maybe he still remembers?... 36 Hours is an intriguing thriller up to a point--and the moment when Garner catches on to the trick is a grabber--but George Seaton's direction is pedestrian and the production has a soundstage-y look. Rod Taylor takes acting honors as the sympathetic German psychiatrist in charge of the plot, under the suspicious eyes of SS man Werner Peters. --Richard T. Jameson
