Summary: Great Movie
Comment: This movie is one that our teenagers like also. In this day and age that is hard to find. We like the fact that it does seem to be very real. Our oldest daughter asked about the movie when they were studing WWII Germany in World History. So I had borrowed this movie from my Mother. Once they saw it they decided that we had to own it as well.

Summary: Tess McNeil Goes To War
Comment: I remember years ago Siskel and Ebert on their annual "Worst Movies of the Year" show figured "Shining Through" prominently. Based on their assessment that was impetus for me to avoid the flick. When I asked my wife what her favorite movie of all time she told me it was "Shining Through". This caused me to scratch my head. Now I had to check out the flick that Siskel and Ebert dismissed as dreck but my wife thought was pure gold. My unbiased opinion is...not bad but not great. My enjoyment depends on not treating it seriously as World War II fare but as pure popcorn. To be honest I thought the film carried more heft than, say, the seriously overrated "Life is Beautiful". The film's only major debit is overlength. Melanie Griffith carries the film brilliantly. She transports her sweetly sexy working girl from New York persona into the espionage arena and we buy it. There are certainly any number of preposterous elements here but check your brain at the door.

Summary: poorly recognized terrific work
Comment: This is an 'unsung' wonder-movie and regardless of its obvious inspiration from 'Notorious', it still pulls it off on its own right. Modern viewers not interested in the 'Old School' films will appreciate these contemporary actors in their roles. Melanie Griffith actually ACTS as more than a squeaky voiced, collagen lipped piece of fluff. Michael Douglas' credentials should have made this movie more well known but still, no one knows about it. Well, surprise...! It's a really good film. Part espionage, part suspense, part adventure, part love story (chick-flick) and every bit of it is well done. I defy anyone to watch it and not have praise for it after. It should have received more critical acclaim and, honestly, I can't put my finger on why it hasn't.

Summary: Shining Review for Shining Through
Comment: Loved this movie. Loved the twists and turns it took. Loved the suspense...never was sure of how it would end, and even the ending was a bit of a surprise. Wish they made more movies like this.
