Yoo Hoo, Mrs. Goldberg & Flame & Citron (MOD)
Aviva Kempner's affectionate, informative and entertaining documentary about Gertrude Berg is well worth seeking out.
The film follows the life of Berg who created the sitcom The Goldbergs first on radio and then on television. We find out about Berg's childhood and how she came to create the show. She was a feminist way before anyone ever knew what the word meant.
One of the strongest sections in the film goes into detail about what happened to Phillip Loeb who portrayed her husband on the show. He is put on the blacklist and can no longer work on the show. Berg tries every which way to get him back on the show but her efforts fail. It was truly heartbreaking.
Check this out in theaters or on DVD when it comes out.
I saw Flame and Citron on Movies on Demand. It has been on for over a week. I find it strange because the film will be released in theaters on July 31. But nothing in this world can be considered strange these days.
Flame (Thure Lindhandt) and Citron (Mads Mikkelsen) are partisans in the Danish Resistance Movement. They are totally dedicated to the cause. But they are also human beings with needs.
Flame and Citron get their orders from high on but they both sometimes question things. Are some of the people they have killed actually innocent? That crosses their minds throughout the film. And is there a traitor in their midst? Well, you will have to see the film to find out.
Director Ole Christian Madsen has done a find job of bringing this true story to the screen. Both Lindhandt and Mikkelsen are terrific in their roles. And so is Stine Stengade as Ketty Selman, a woman who plays an important part in this story.
I learned quite a bit about the Danish Resistance Movement from this film. You should check it out. IFC has made it so easy to see quality films right in your home on the day they are released in theaters. I really commend them for this because many people would not be able to see these films if not for them.

Based on a true story, this twisting tale of two second world war folk heroes of the Danish resistance unfolds with noir-ish intrigue. Atmospherically photographed on a fat budget, the film looks stunning but retains a gritty period realism.
