Shining Through movie

This is one of my favorite movies. Two of my favorite actors are in the lead roles and I love the story line. I've been looking for the DVD for several years since I lost my VHS. My daughter suggested I look on the Amazon website and there it was.

Great Movie

This movie is one that our teenagers like also. In this day and age that is hard to find. We like the fact that it does seem to be very real. Our oldest daughter asked about the movie when they were studing WWII Germany in World History. So I had borrowed this movie from my Mother. Once they saw it they decided that we had to own it as well.

Tess McNeil Goes To War

I remember years ago Siskel and Ebert on their annual "Worst Movies of the Year" show figured "Shining Through" prominently. Based on their assessment that was impetus for me to avoid the flick. When I asked my wife what her favorite movie of all time she told me it was "Shining Through". This caused me to scratch my head. Now I had to check out the flick that Siskel and Ebert dismissed as dreck but my wife thought was pure gold. My unbiased opinion is...not bad but not great. My enjoyment depends on not treating it seriously as World War II fare but as pure popcorn. To be honest I thought the film carried more heft than, say, the seriously overrated "Life is Beautiful". The film's only major debit is overlength. Melanie Griffith carries the film brilliantly. She transports her sweetly sexy working girl from New York persona into the espionage arena and we buy it. There are certainly any number of preposterous elements here but check your brain at the door.
