A Day In October (1993)

EW's GRADE
C-

Details Movie Rated: PG-13; Genres: Drama, War; With: Kelly Wolf and D.B. Sweeney

D.B. Sweeney plays a young resistance fighter in Nazi-occupied Denmark who, after being taken in by a young Jewish woman (Kelly Wolf), gets her apathetic family involved in helping Jews escape. The only thing Danish about Sweeney is probably what he had for breakfast on the set. Still, A Day In October is one of those well-meaning, reasonably well made tributes to the human spirit in which the acting is, to put it kindly, aggressive, not to mention all wet, and there is much wailing and gnashing of teeth before the obvious arrives.
