Days Of Glory: Review

starstarstarstar
Gregory Peck, in his first motion picture performance (after having been seen on the Broadway stage by producer Casey Robinson), stars here as Vladimir, the leader of a Soviet resistance group fighting the Germans during WW II. Caught behind enemy lines is Nina (Tamara Toumanova), a famous dancer who eventually falls in love with Vladimir. Producer Robinson had hoped to achieve a sense of realism and, to that end, cast performers who were unknown to movie audiences, including Peck and Toumanova (the latter a prima ballerina with the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo). It wasn't long before Peck was an Oscar nominee (for his lead role in THE KEYS OF THE KINGDOM, his second film) and Toumanova was Mrs. Casey Robinson. As for the rest of the "unknowns," most remained that way, though Alan Reed did go on to become the voice of Fred Flintstone and Hugo Haas became one of the most curious of Hollywood's independent film directors. Director Jacques Tourneur had just come off the successes of his classic horror films CAT PEOPLE; I WALKED WITH A ZOMBIE; and THE LEOPARD MAN; this was his first big-budget production for RKO, but the film quickly disappeared from theaters. The film earned an Oscar nomination for its special effects. leave a comment
