Movie Info

The Nazis are clearly the villains in So Ends Our Night, but since the film was made before America's entry into World War II, Adolph Hitler goes unmentioned (we wouldn't want to lose those foreign markets, would we?) Based on Erich Maria Remarque's novel Flotsam, the film zeroes in on three German refugees. Frederic March despises the Nazis on ideological grounds; Margaret Sullavan, a Jew, is fleeing for her life; and Glenn Ford, born of a Jewish mother and Aryan father, is racked with

Though containing a number of lighter scenes and blessed with a strong sense of humanity (a Cromwell trademark), the film pulls no punches and is all the stronger for it.

Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)

A mess of melodramatic puffery that ultimately trivializes the tragedy it wants to spotlight.

Mournful war drama with a strong cast, several of whom are underused. Glenn Ford is impossibly young and gives a good if callow account of himself but it is Margaret Sullavan with her beautiful bruised diginity that wins the acting honors here. March and Dee really are in support even though they are top billed.

Fascinating pre World War II tale, very nicely acted, especially by Margaret Sullivan. The very young Glenn Ford oes well also. It's a bit too long, but it is very well done. Well written, good score and cinematography.
