Critic Reviews for Shining Through
All Critics (16) | Top Critics (3) | Fresh (7) | Rotten (9) | DVD (1)
David Seltzer has had the good sense to stick to a proven formula and the whole thing is genuinely romantic.
Lavishly staged in German locations and handsomely costumed -- with some particularly fetching hats for Griffith -- Shining Through is never hard to watch. Sometimes, however, it is ludicrous to listen to.
fails as an espionage thriller, but also as a romance
Griffith as an American spy posing as a German during WWII. Gimme a break!!!
The word 'bore' comes to mind
Audience Reviews for Shining Through
Totally unrealistic. I mean, really? Secretary who happens to know German turned into full-time secret spy in Nazi Germany? I guess if you don't think too much about it, you can enjoy it.
Super Reviewer
This war-drama of the Forties with Michael Douglas and Melanie Griffiths is so clever and effective homeage.
Super Reviewer
If you don't think too much, its a good movie. Melanie Griffith spying for the Americans as a German domestic even though her story about her background doesn't hold up. Michael Douglas as a spy who doesn't speak any German. Surely the Germans were not that stupid.
