Based on Erich Maria Remarque's novel Flotsam - the film zeroes in on three German refugees during World War II who are at the beck and call of the Nazis, always hiding, always in fear of deportation. The settings for this adventure include WWII Austria, Germany and Switzerland. Margaret Sullavan, a Jewish chemist, is fleeing for her life; and Glenn Ford, born of a Jewish mother and Aryan father, is racked with confusion and torn loyalties. The three main characters separate as they move across Europe, just a step or so ahead of the advancing Nazis. As Sullavan and Ford fall in love, Fredric March's character puts his life on the line by trying to arrange a reunion with his ailing wife, Frances Dee, who has remained in Germany. Critics have stated that even though the score was nominated for an Oscar, it may have done even better at the box office, had it been released a few months after the US's entry into the war. Bonus Features: Scene Selection| Bios| Promo Trailer. Specs: DVD5; Dolby Digital; 117 minutes; B&W; 1.33:1 Aspect Ratio; MPAA - NR; Year - 1942; SRP - $14.99.

91 year old mom loved it.
I bought this as a birthday present for my 91 year old mom. She loved it. She had seen it at the theater when she was 16 years old and had fallen head over heals in love with Glen Ford so this movie brought back fond memories and girlish goose bumps to my mom. Thank you for making her day.

Better Early Than Never Produced.
Better Early Than Never. Unfortunate for this motion picture, it was released before America's entry into WW II. It may have been received with better critcal reviews in 1942. But the story is compelling, the acting first-rate, and in my opinion exposed the terrible evil that was transforming the lives of all Germans and the rest of Europe. A must see for all movie buffs who enjoy well-made motion pictues.

Since TCM Won't Show This 4 Star Movie...
I saw So Ends Our Night on A&E in 1988 (when A&E used to be an excellent cable channel) and fell in love with this movie. It was based on a novel by Erich Maria Remarque, who wrote the great novel All Quiet on The Western Front. Glenn Ford and Fredric March head a great cast and the story gives a glimpse of what it was like to be on the run from the Nazis. Enjoy!!

Picture fantastic, but, oh the sound!
As all previous reviews state, the story and picture quality are more than adequate on this DVD release. The sound, however -- at least on my DVD -- sounds like it was mastered over a Trans-Atlantic telephone line. I get the feeling of rushing water every time I watch it. It doesn't muddy the dialogue too much, but it definitely could have been mastered using better soundtrack elements.

Well-done melodrama
The treatment this story gets is dated, but still effective. The transfer of the film to DVD appears as though it were a television broadcast, as the video and audio are quite poor. It is a tribute to this film that its qualities survive this inadequate transfer. Frederic March and Francis Dee are wonderful, and Margaret Sullavan is also great. Glenn Ford, in an early role, is less effective but still adequate. Overall, this is a film well-worth savoring, dated but still quite powerful. I found myself wondering what a modern film-maker would have done with the same material. (Roman Polanski's The Pianist could be seen as an example of a modern treatment of a similar subject.)
