7/10
Anxiety unbound in Furie's smartly scripted piece.
1 October 2010
During One Night is written and directed by Sidney J. Furie and stars Don Borisenko & Susan Hampshire. Story tells of a soldier (Borisenko) who after seeing his friend suffer castration during an accident, takes leave from his unit to lose his virginity. But upon meeting Jean (Hampshire) his ideals and fears are turned in another direction.

A little unknown piece that occasionally shows up on British TV in the early hours of the morning, During One Night is far better than any plot synopsis suggests. It's a very tender movie, one that is impeccably acted by Borisenko & Hampshire. Very much dialogue driven, it finds two people confronting issues that affect them psychologically. Brought together by chance, they each have to go deep into themselves to hopefully reap the benefits. Will they make it? What does life have in store for them? Thankfully we do care what happens to this couple because it's so well written. For those willing to give their undivided time and attention to a human interest piece then this is certainly recommended. 7/10
