Miracle at Midnight


by Ayesha Haqqiqa

Synopsis: This film tells the story of how the Danish people helped hide Danish Jews from the Nazis during World War II. It follows the story of one family, a doctor, his wife, and his son and daughter, and tells what happens to them as they try to help their Jewish friends.

Sam�s performance: Sam plays the part of the doctor to the hilt. He is excellent as the family man, as the head of the hospital, and as organizer of a resistance movement which foils the Nazi�s attempts to deport all Danish Jews. He uses an accent which is quite good. His facial expression when he realizes his wife must go with the Nazis makes the whole movie.

Must See Scene: When Sam gets his children on the boat and heads for Sweden.The Nazis are there, and bullets fly. There is a problem with one boat, and you wonder for a while if everyone will be able to escape.

Rating:

1 Sam means you won�t be able to sit through the movie once; 5 Sams means you�ll want to buy the film and watch it over and over again.

5 Sams
