| ♥♥♥♥♥ | EXCELLENT ADAPTATION OF REAL LIFE HORRORS |
| I saw this when it first came out and had never before heard of the SS St Louis...and I naively supposed that while other countries, such as Cuba, would turn away these helpless people, the USA would welcome them a la Statue of Liberty...("Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!") apparently I was wrong, and my shock was first in discovering that this was indeed a true historical event and also that WE turned these poeple AWAY! THAT horrified me more than anything else and to this day I still do not understand WHY. This is the USA! What was up with FDR? Excellent cast, great acting, right from the heart, and one is aware that the actors were caught up in this particular movie more than any others by virtue of the fact that is is a true story... To this day, I am still appalled and mystified as to what went on in FDR's mind that he would consider it politically expedient to send these innocent people to their deaths...he has a lot to answer for in the next life! |
