Good Evening, Mr. Wallenberg Reviews
Good but not as compelling as the Richard Chamberlain version
There is a made-for NBC version with Richard Chamberlain that I wish would be released on video. But no one seems to do it. If they do I would expect it would sell.
One of those films that stay with you
This is a dark and realistic film about how Wallenberg wanted to save defenseless men, women and children. I think that the selection of Wallenberg for the job amongst a group of Jewish leaders was rather heart gripping. The leaders referred to his papers saying his diplomas weren't that great and job history wasn't of that kind that would make him a first choice for the job. But, Wallenberg kept on saying; - You don't understand. I HAVE DECIDED THAT I AM GOING TO DO THIS JOB.
In Budapest he did what he could to save Jews of all ages. The viewer is also allowed to witness how it becomes increasingly harder to save people.
In this film you are made to face the brutal facts of what that happened during World War II. The film stays with you. Still, I normally watch films that I like many times, but with this one I haven't been able to do so.
Even so, I cannot forget what I saw.
