Review of Twilight's Last Gleaming (1977) by Martin B — 06 Apr 2012
A nice surprise.
Twilight's Last Gleaming starts out like a conventional nuclear terroist drama movie to evolve inte something bigger.
The first half is stiff terror drama with out of place but still so good Burt Lancaster and always enjoyable Richard Widmark shouting at each other over the telephone.
The second half is more philosofical eventhough the drama stills plays out. Deep discussions about the US actions after the world war II and what the Vietnam war was really all about.
This movie also makes use of the split screen effect in a amount I've never seen in any 70´s movie, although this was a very popular effect in those days. Great stuff!
