Review of The Clock

The Clock (1945)
7/10
Pleasant

During WWII, sailor on two-day leave in NY meets a young woman and romance blossoms. This was the follow-up to "Meet Me in St. Louis" for Minnelli and Garland, and the pair wed shortly after this film was released. Garland and Walker (two actors who would have tragically short lives) work well together. This is a pleasant little movie, but nothing particularly memorable. The script is somewhat meandering, with random characters introduced (a milk man, a drunk) without rhyme or reason. It is perhaps too low-key and would have benefited from some dramatic developments in the plot or some more humor. A couple of songs by Judy would have enlivened things up a bit.
