The Mortal Storm (1940)

Hey! Look! It's two people who are great, together for the second time! Recommended by Carmel, The Mortal Storm is an out-of-print flick from 1940. It's hella rare, people. A video store in Seattle requires a $150 deposit to rent it.

It was great to see it, but honestly this movie was a bit dull and really strange. The deal is that Jimmy and Margaret are young folks in almost-Nazi Germany. All their pals, including the illustrious Robert Young, are wayyy into the Nazis. Only the best movie couple in town + Frank Morgan choose to resist. Resistance is difficult, though, because it tears families apart -- just like Yankee/Mets feuds.

I was really pleased to see the old MGM crew back together in this, but it's probably not worth watching if you're not me or two others.

  1. It might be out of print, but that doesn't make it hard to find.
