I don't know how the schedule changes as the sun travels across the nation, but around here in the Chicago area, in about a half hour, Three Came Home will be starting at 5:00 p.m. If you can't sit down to watch, throw a video or DVD in and copy it.
It stars Claudette Colbert, Sessue Hayakawa, and several other women in Japanese captives camp. Not military, but civilians who didn't get out of town in time, so are being held in these camps. Because she is a noted author and writer of valuable articles, Sessue admires Claudette, and allows her a little more leniency than others so she is in a position to help her co-inmates, but has to go through the acts of enjoying this enemies attention. We are in on a couple of conversations between them and can form our own conclusions. BTW, by that statement, I don't mean sexual attention, he wants someone with a mind to talk to since most of his officers are nobodies.
There are a few 'cover your eyes' scenes, but I'm thinking of the 40's and 50's, so I'm sure we are inurred to those scenes thanks to todays' reality filmmaking.
Try to catch it.

Well, I can't imagine which movie I confused this with, but obviously did. I do seem to recall more discussions with Sessue and Claudette. It was a good movie though.

We've been treated to a few Claudette films that I only rarely see, and getting this DVD recently and seeing it on TV makes me wish we'd had more films with her in it - at any age. THREE and WHILE YOU WERE GONE are tremendous pieces for the Claudette-As-Woman character. She had all that cute charm and looks from her 20s, but she also showed eyes that saw a lot more. Top notch performance by her.
