The Only Way (1970)
Don't Waste Your Time
To put it simply...just awful. The dialogue was boring, poorly delivered, and the characters were dull. One other tidbit, the musical score was at best, generic, at worst mundane. I can't imagine what they were thinking.
I forced myself to watch it to the end because it was a short film, and the subject matter had such potential. I expected to be engaged and looked forward to learning something about WWII that I had never read about before. I was looking forward to seeing a young Jane Seymour, but even that was a disappointment.
I suppose if you are a huge fan of Denmark, this might hold some interest for you; but otherwise, you would be better off watching a rerun of Hogan's Heroes.

Don't Waste Your Money
The biggest waste of time ever. Everything about this movie was a bore. There was not a single moment we found to be scary or suspenseful. This movie was supposed to compare to "The Others" or "Sixth Sense" - that's a joke. We knew everything that was going to happen before it did. Certain scenes were so overly dramatic it was pathetic. The sad thing is, the premise had potential, and it was really disappointing that more wasn't done with this. It really could have been scary if it had been done right. The most fun we had at this movie was making fun of the different scenes and characters. I'm embarrassed to think that we spent $21 for this! This movie is a reminder to me of why I wait and buy the DVD; at least then I'm only out $12 to $19 and can turn it off. Not even worth a rental. Don't waste YOUR money.
