    Beautiful movie!

    I don't think this movie is very well known because I have never heard of Miracle at Midnight until my recent visit to a video store. I'm glad I decided to buy it because it was worth it. It's an excellent movie, with a great script and a fantastic cast. I wish to recommend it to everyone interested in war movies. Miracle at Midnight is beautiful and its message will stay with you forever. It's a gem!

    a Danish story

    At first sigh, another film about Shoah. in fact, a touching film about family. and friendship. and survive. eulogy to so many anonimous lifes who were the axis of the change of world, in profound sense. a film about duty, in same measure. at first sigh, one of many TV films . but significant for a motif escaping from the ordinary formulas. because it reminds. old , great stories reminding to us ourselves. so, a Danish story.

    Another Holocaust Movie!

    Another Holocaust Movie starring Law & Order Sam Waterston (yes, he can do more) and Mia Farrow as a Danish couple who help and assist Danish Jews to flee the country to Sweden. Of course, everybody knows the history of the holocaust and those few who assisted. In this story, the Christian Kosters help aid the Danish Jews. It's another story about good Christians who helped the Jews in Europe during a dark time in it's history. I don't think the German Nazis and Gestapo in this film is accurately portrayed. Believe me, they were much more vicious. Denmark was one of the few countries that helped their Jews because they didn't have the same anti-Semitism that other countries including Germany, Austria, Poland, Czech, and Russia had at the time according to this film. Denmark should be applauded for it's behavior. I'm not knocking the story but this film was shown to middle school American children. While it's just another Holocaust movie, it's not as good as Schindler's List or others. It was shown because it was not rated but the children could see it because it lacked the viciousness of usual Holocaust films.

    Great Disney TV movie.

    Yes it's got lots of cliches and I have no idea how close it is to truth but I really enjoyed the performances. Some excellent scoring too. A good Sunday afternoon film. One of the hidden gems on Disney+

    I love this movie!!!

    This is such a great movie. I taped it off TV and I watch it at least once a week. I really love war movies, but I have to say that this one is the best I've ever seen. It portrays the war in a nonviolent way. I also have to say that Justin Whalin and Nicola Mycroft are great actors and actresses, some of the best I've seen. I hope they do more acting. For those of you who have not seen this movie, I recommend that you see it because it is so great!!
