Film Frenzy

Matt Brunson

A top-drawer melodrama that's only hampered by a rocky start and a rushed finale.

A wonderful film which confounds expectations again and again.

You will enjoy it as a straight-away romance, crowded with most engaging characters and smoking with Mr. Boyer's charm.

While Hold Back the Dawn is basically another European refugee yarn, scenarists Charles Brackett and Billy Wilder exercised some ingenuity and imagination and Ketty Frings' original emerges as fine celluloidia.

This romantic weepie is both moving and effectively stylish.
