Beautiful, Moving Story This is a beautiful and moving story about friendship and the high price that so many innocent people paid. This story like others gives in-sight into just the type of things that had to be done in order to survive and it gives the viewer the rare ability to see a story of survival. What one friend does for another is truly amazing. Because as Lisa tells her priest.... not saving three people from harm.... must surely dis-obey the laws of GOD. I truly wish that this movie were available on DVD.
A classic, timeless story This movie is such a touching story. It's a very personal tale of a world event. The cast has some heav-hitters. The young girls are great as well. I taped this off TV when I was a kid. Now, at age 30, I still watch it! It's good for all ages. A real tear-jerker. I can't believe it hasn't been offered on DVD!
Very touching story I wish they would put this movie out onto DVD.It is an incredible story of true friendship and courage.I wish they would make more movies like this The entire cast in this film all did such a fine job in their roles
A Friendship Worth Following: Vienna 1938 - The innocent friendship between schoolmates Inge and Lise creates tension between their families because Inge is Jewish, and Lise is the daughter of a high-ranking Nazi. With Hitler in power and World War II about to erupt in Europe, it's a time for fear and uncertainty for all. But as the persecution of the Austrian Jews increases, the girl's courage grows and their special friendship triumphs over discriminimation. Emmy Award winner Ed Asner (Roots, Lou Grant) stars as Inge's grandfather with Oscar nominee Jane Alexander (Kramer vs. Kramer) and Stephen Macht (Cagney & Lacey) as her parents. This award winning film is a compelling tale of unselfish loyalty and courage - it's sure to become a family favorite!
Even better than "Miracle at Midnight" It's odd that Disney withdrew this video since it is perhaps one of the finest made about the Holocaust, particularly the difficult decisions that both gentiles and Jews had to make about their relationships after the Nazi anschluss with Austria. Unlike Denmark, which held no inherent animosity toward Danish Jews, the situation was not the same in Austria. There was far more pressure put upon Austrians to join the Nazis' anti-semitic frenzy, and many Austrians willingly joined in. This movie takes the situation to the difficult personal and family level. It is proof of that song in "South Pacific"--"You Have to be Carefully Taught" (to hate and fear)--is right on the money. The two movies complement each other perfectly, showing two different situations and how each of them ultimately evolved.
