2023/24 leaping over a winter trashfire challenge: directed by Steven Hilliard Stern.
scavenger hunt 108: blue poster.
Obscure 80s/90s Films Binge #211This ended up being a lot more absurd than I anticipated but I liked that quality because it kept things interesting! Really lovely and surprisingly nuanced performances from Deborah Raffin and Christopher Reeve; their chemistry tied the whole thing together.
I wanted the '40s/WWII setting to have more of an impact but aesthetically Morning Glory fit the period and I liked that the feelings of isolation and crampedness from the small town came through. I'm curious to read the novel because I did think some backstory was missing and the last act was a bit too rushed for my taste.
Appropriately sweet and tender, but with a proper amount of bite and maturity to prevent it from being overly sentimental. Christopher Reeve 🫶🫶

Morning Glory is an amiable, sweet and sentimental little film that is a pleasant watch, depending on your views in Christopher Reeve. I really like Reeve as an actor and I am getting close to seeing everything he acted in, so this was a nice 95 minute diversion for me. Reeve is soft-spoken, playing an ex-convict, who marries a small town farming shut-in and gets embroiled in a local murder. There is a court case at the end. However, the plot isn't really the film. The film is Reeve staring off into the distance, as a golden-orange haze photograpy lights him nicely. He looks great, though I'm not sure he convinces as a 1940s ex-con. Yet, the film is a pleasantly made Canadian financed drama, with its orange hues and old-fashioned appeal. A film made for everyone's mum in 1993, and, well, me.
