Customer Reviews

A good play brought to the big screen.

Stanley Donen – Director Julius Epstein - Writer (screenplay) Luther Davis - Writer (play "Kiss Them for Me") Frederic Wakeman - Writer (novel "Shore Leave") Jerry Wald – Producer Milton Krasner - Cinematographer Lionel Newman – Composer Robert Simpson - Editor At first glance, this play may seem formulaic and simple. The actors may look like they are walking through their parts. You may also notice other things or the absence of things that make this scene like a so-so film. However, all it takes is a couple of views, and you will mysteriously be hooked on this film and want to purchase a copy. This is a retrospective movie made in 1957, depicting the close to the end of the war in 1944. It is the story of several war heroes who finesse their leave for San Francisco for a few days to escape their positions. What would you do if you had several days of leave in San Francisco and you were a war hero in 1944? Yes, and that's exactly what they do. This story is about how they do it. During their leave time, Cmdr. Andy Crewson (Cary Grant), Lt. (j.g.) McCann (Ray Walston), Mississip (Larry Blyden), and to an extent, Lt. Walter Wallace (Werner Klemperer) must reflect on the times and what they really want out of life. To assist them in their endeavor are shipbuilding “Typhoon” Eddie Turnbill (Leif Erickson), Eddie’s fiancée Gwinneth Livingston (Suzy Parker), a ditzy girl with some profound thoughts, Alice Kratzner (Jayne Mansfield), and a dead man in a wheelchair. This is a story about choices. What did they choose in the end? Would you have selected the same? Now able to view it on a 50-inch 4K updated screen, I noticed that they did not overmake the makeup of Suzy Parker. You can see her cute freckles.
