Well said.<br /><br />I couldn't agree more about Dana Andrews and Myrna Loy, though to be honest, they were also my favorite characters in the movie, so I might be biased. I can't believe anyone would watch this movie and not nominate Andrews, that fact blows me away.<br /><br />The pace is indeed flawless, as the story breezes by without much effort from the m.brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14457418128925003938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369116000753884175.post-31677399589055469622014-08-02T22:26:44.828-04:002014-08-02T22:26:44.828-04:00Glad you gave the movie a shot.

So many great performances, Fredric March was terrific but I thought Dana Andrews was even better and yet he wasn't nominated. Equally great and also un-nominated was Myrna Loy as March wife.

I wish I knew more people that would watch this kind of stuff, because I think no matter how much I gush about it, all those superficial reasons <i>not to watch it</i> will win out.<br /><br />But damn, man. This movie is so good. Those three guys were absolutely perfect.

But, occasionally, when we finally sit down and settle in, greatness takes over. I had the same exact experience watching this film as you did.

He's just standing there, like <i>this is it, get out now</i>, and Wilma just steps up in the best way possible.

It flew by, and I was interested in all the stories. The scene at the airfield is great, and Homer's moments with his wife are hard to watch because there's so much truth given the actor's history.
