VHS Movie Reviews of One Against the Wind [VHS]
Movie Review: Excellent film!
Summary: 4 Stars
The movie "One Against the Wind" tells a powerful story about Mary Lindell and her efforts in the Resistance. An excellent film to show to students who are studying WW II, and also a great one to watch. It's pretty clean with only mild language. I would say that it's safe to show to children except there are a couple scenes that are pretty graphic, especially the part where Lindell's son Maurice is being questioned by the Nazis. Highly recommend watching it.Movie Review: A World War II Heroine
Summary: 3 Stars
This was a pretty solid Hallmark Hall Of Fame made-for-TV story about a real- life woman "Countess Mary Lindell" (Judy Davis) who helped Allies during World War II.
Many of the military men in need were downed pilots and Lindell would help these men get safely out of occupied France. Her character was a strong one and her resolve to do what she could against the Germans was resolute. Helping her accomplish that were her kids: a son and a daughter (a young Kate Beckinsale!).
The story lags in spots or I would have rated it higher. I'd watch this again if someone would issue it on DVD.
Movie Review: Book/DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
I too would like to ask that someone put this movie on DVD. Also, I have tried in vain to find a copy of the book "No Drums, No Trumpets" (except for very expensive collector's editions). Libraries will not even loan this book out. Therefore, I wish that someone would reprint this book. Please, pretty please!!!Movie Review: Judy Davis as "THE MATI HARI" of France,Mary Lindell
Summary: 5 Stars
Mary Lindell is a household name in Great Britain. Thank God that HALLMARK took the time to recreate her daringly true escapades in smuggling evaders into unoccupied zones during WW2. For dramatic purposes, much of ONE AGAINST THE WIND has been rearranged and condensed . As exciting as this presentation of Mary Lindell's exploits is, her real life was even MORE dramatic than what HALLMARK assembled!( Read the book NO DRUMS,NO TRUMPETS by J.B. Wayne!!!!!)
Nevertheless, this film is extraordinary for what it accomplishes and Judy Davis is spot-on as the resourceful,courageous and mulishly strong-minded Mary. It is significant to note that Mary Lindell was 45 years old when she and her family began smuggling people out of occupied France, first by sheer bluff and boldness! Her methods became much more "professional" as the War dragged on. The focus of ONE AGAINST THE WIND is more towards the end of her smuggling people into Spain, more in particular Australian bomber pilot McSweyen (Sam Neill).Lindell actually had three children, two boys and a little girl.The son Maurice, is a composite of her two sons, and daughter Barbe (Kate Beckinsale) is pretty much invented along with her attraction to a Nazi officer for dramatic purposes.This makes for a great screenplay and creates dramatic tension, but it's not true. Other than that, ONE AGAINST THE WIND is about as exciting and daredevilish as a film can get (especially for HALLMARK!).
Great similar companion films would be BLACK BOOK, VARIAN'S WAR and CHARLOTTE GRAY.
Movie Review: One Against the Wind
Summary: 5 Stars
A great movie in every way.A true story better than fiction. Acting, actors actually acting as true real life charachters in one of the best stories ever told. This is a great movie. As a side story it is Kate Bekinsales entry to the industry (that I know of).
