So Ends Our Night

I bought this as a birthday present for my 91 year old mom. She loved it. She had seen it at the theater when she was 16 years old and had fallen head over heals in love with Glen Ford so this movie brought back fond memories and girlish goose bumps to my mom. Thank you for making her day.

Thank you!

Better Early Than Never. Unfortunate for this motion picture, it was released before America's entry into WW II. It may have been received with better critcal reviews in 1942. But the story is compelling, the acting first-rate, and in my opinion exposed the terrible evil that was transforming the lives of all Germans and the rest of Europe. A must see for all movie buffs who enjoy well-made motion pictues.

I saw So Ends Our Night on A&E in 1988 (when A&E used to be an excellent cable channel) and fell in love with this movie. It was based on a novel by Erich Maria Remarque, who wrote the great novel All Quiet on The Western Front. Glenn Ford and Fredric March head a great cast and the story gives a glimpse of what it was like to be on the run from the Nazis. Enjoy!!

As all previous reviews state, the story and picture quality are more than adequate on this DVD release. The sound, however -- at least on my DVD -- sounds like it was mastered over a Trans-Atlantic telephone line. I get the feeling of rushing water every time I watch it. It doesn't muddy the dialogue too much, but it definitely could have been mastered using better soundtrack elements.

very good film glenn ford gives an excellent performance as the boy

Arrived in perfect condition. Thank you!

The treatment this story gets is dated, but still effective. The transfer of the film to DVD appears as though it were a television broadcast, as the video and audio are quite poor. It is a tribute to this film that its qualities survive this inadequate transfer. Frederic March and Francis Dee are wonderful, and Margaret Sullavan is also great. Glenn Ford, in an early role, is less effective but still adequate. Overall, this is a film well-worth savoring, dated but still quite powerful. I found myself wondering what a modern film-maker would have done with the same material. (Roman Polanski's The Pianist could be seen as an example of a modern treatment of a similar subject.)

Good Movie Superb cast and story. It is not a movie I can watch to often , It takes place during the war and is quite dark. but I love the cast.
