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.
