Henry and I share a fondness for World War II movies. We watched this little gem the other night. It was pretty good; a totally implausible scheme to fool the Nazis made all the more fascinating because it is based on a true story. It has some slow moments. Our friend Nathan was talking about how in 70s cop shows they didn't seem to employ an editor; they would make you watch the cops get in the car, drive to the crime scene, stop at a red light, get out at the crime scene, fill out paperwork. This was like the World War II version of that. On a sub. But, despite that, we quite enjoyed it, and look out for a fabulous Gloria Grahame (fresh off her Ado Annie fame), who dictates the most beautiful, most heartbreaking, love letter ever written to a fake fighter pilot. It's streaming on Netflix, just saying.....
