A Day in October

I am happy with the serevice!

This movie tells the story of Danish resistance against the Nazis during WW II and centers around a Jewish family who find themselves having to harbor a Danish resistance member who is severely wounded during an attack on the Nazis. D.B. Sweeney plays Niels Jensen, a member of the Danish resistance who is given refuge by Sara Kublitz [Kelly Wolf] and her parents, Emma and Solomon [Tovah Feldshuh and Daniel Benzali]. Initially Sara's father, Solomon is upset and angry that they are forced to harbor Niels as he feels that the Nazis have left the Jews alone for the most part and they should not be antagonised. But he eventually realises that the Jews are in mortal danger and aids Niels and the Resistance in sabotaging one of the factories producing rocket parts for the Nazis. By this time, a romance develops between Niels and Sara and they are determined to stay together despite the odds.When the Jews are told by an informant that the Nazis are going to arrest all Jews and deport them [almost certainly to the death camps in Europe], the Danish Resistance helps the Jews of Denmark escape the Nazis in one of the most heroic rescue efforts of WW II.All in all, about 7,200 Danish Jews were safely transported to Sweden, a neutral country. Only about 400 Danish Jews were caught in the Nazi death net. The heroism of the Danish Resistance is something we can all learn from, and it's not just the members of the resistance - ordinary Danish civilians aided their Jewish friends and neighbors because they felt it was the right thing to do - the Jews were considered by the Danes to be Danish citizens just like them, and thus were entitled to the same freedoms and rights they were. I read in a book that the Danes not only helped the Danish Jews escape but also maintained properties belonging to the Jews to be reclaimed by them after the war - such a contrast to what happened elsewhere in Europe.I'd recommend this movie for all those who are interested in WW II/Holocaust dramas. Another movie I'd recommend that also focuses on the rescue of the Danish Jews is Miracle at Midnight, starring Sam Waterston.

Watched this movie years ago about the Danish resistance in the days of the Holocaust. after years in storage decided to watch again,really didn't like it much the first time, but remembered one scene when Sarah Kublitz [Kelly Wolf] was on a bus in Copenhagen and a couple of SS officers got on the bus to check identity papers and how the Danish people stood up in their way to allow her to escape out the other bus door.This is a really Good movie,Daniel Benzali,D.B.Sweeney,Tovah Feldshuh,and Ole Lemmeke,along with Kelly Wolf all play their parts well.Danish people used sabotage against the nazi's to blow up German occupied military buildings as they did in this movie at a factory where Mr. Kublitz works as a book keeper.This movie also shows Worship Service at a Synagogue where the Kublitz family attends , a very rarity in other Holocaust movies, This movie doesn't get the credit it deserves.

the reality much more important then the film although cast was fine. an important film to those unaware of what happened to the danes and many others during that unbelievable, but true time of history.

This is a somewhat typical WWII Holocaust story, albeit with a bit of a twist because it takes place in Denmark. It is the story of a partisan fighter who falls in love with a Jewish girl right around the time that Danish Jewish population needed to flee the country to avoid a looming Nazi crackdown. He is rescued by the girl after being shot in an attack and nursed back to health by her in spite of her father's concerns about the situation. Later, he helps her family and many other Jewish residents of the country flee. This is a fairly low-key film with reasonably good acting. It isn't an effects-laden war movie, but rather a thoughtful rendition of a lesser-known WWII story.

True story of the early days of the Nazis taking over in Denmark and began killing the Jews. It follows a resistance fighter who is shot and dying. A Jewish girl finds him and hides him, unknowing saving the very man who will, in the end, save her family from slaughter. Her father works for a factory and is in denial about what is happening around him, until he is brought face-to-face with the truth by the resistance fighter. Now he has to make a decision about whether to continue working for, and thus aiding the Nazis, or standing up against them for the preservation of his people. A very well done and moving true story. I Highly recommend it.

I've only seen this film one time...but I remembered it. I saw it was available in here and thought..for 8 bucks...why not? Well, take my advice...roll the dice and decide if you want to get a working disc or not...and are prepared for a really poor quality image. It looks 4:3 vhs or a TV screen capture. Dreadful. I got 75% of the way through and the disc stopped playing. I returned it.There has to be a better dvd production house out there that can do these hard to find films justice

I collect Holocaust related movies and I've always liked this one so I added it to my collection. I only wish the DVD I purchased had some special features. That's the only negative for me. DB Sweeney and Tovah Feldshuh are always good. The other less knows actors are very good too. I don't think it was widely released. It only shows up on IMDB as "En dag i oktober". There are a couple of small plot holes but nothing most people would notice. Very Good movie!
