(1959) The Journey
WAR/ HISTORICAL/ DRAMA
Adapted from the short story by Guy de Maupassant, produced and directed by Anatole Litvak which is yet, another depressing variation "some" on the same lines as "The King & I" that involves a group of English speaking civilians attempting to escape after the Soviet invasion led by Major Surov (Yul Brynner). He eventually falls in love with one of the captures, Diana Ashmore played by Deborah Kerr. The film centers on this relationship and the political turmoil that arises. Hooky and unnecessary, especially if it's all made up, more fascinating to be read about in terms of real life.
