Feb 29thNight Crossing** US 1982. Walt Disney. 107m.
In 1970s East Germany the Strelzyk and Wetzel families try to fly over the 3-mile border zone into the West by hot air balloon.
Well-meaning true life story with an intriguing premise, which is predictably sentimentalised for Disney (and badly made in some departments), where all the heroes speak in British/American accents, and all the villains speak like Germans. Interesting enough to keep you guessing how it's going to turn out.
Written by: John McGreevey.
Producer: Tom Leetch.
Director: Delbert Mann.
Starring: John Hurt, Beau Bridges, Jane Alexander, Ian Bannen, Doug McKeon, Glynnis O'Connor, Günther Meisner, Kay Walsh, Matthew Taylor.
Photography: Tony Imi.
Music: Jerry Goldsmith.
