An Absolute Gem!, 24 February 2009

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

I saw this back in 1996 and foolishly did not video tape it. Little did I know how great this film was to be. I've been waiting ever since for its return and it seems to have disappeared off the face of the Earth. It's a charming story of an American girl staying in Holland with her grandparents when the Nazis occupy the town and all of Holland. The Germans need lead for weapons and the townsfolk decide to rescue and hide the lead horses which adorn the treasured, ancient town clock. The story is very involving and well directed. The magnificent Paul Scofield leads a very talented cast. If anyone should see and enjoy this film, head to the TCM Website and do a search, and vote to have this gem put on DVD. You won't be sorry.
