Silent Night, Lonely Night - 1969 - 6/10
Over Christmas in snow packed Amherst, John and Katherine repeatedly cross paths.
Katherine’s son is in prep school, recovering from an illness.
John’s suicidal wife is in an mental institute.
Gradually, as they spend more time together, they share stories.
Low key film is not so much a love romance, but shared compassion.
Ships that pass in the night, as it were.
Lloyd Bridges and Shirley Jones have nice chemistry.
