(Blu-ray, Twilight Time)
Childhood friends Jane Fonda and Vanessa Redgrave maintain close ties as adults despite being separated by the demands of work. Jane eventually finds success as a playwright with the help of sometime lover Jason Robards, while Vanessa gets involved with the fight against Nazis. She convinces Jane to smuggle money into Germany while passing through by train. There are some truly tense moments during this sequence of events. Douglas Slocombe's photography can be breathtaking. However, the characters are underdeveloped, particularly the relationship between the two girls which is crucial to the plot, and as a result the finished product is unsatisfying.
