The Navy is scenery, and the night lives or dies on the rehearsal.

The review

I lost the ocean almost at once. Two sailors and two sisters, one couple dancing, the other almost ruining a chance on the stage. Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Irving Berlin. A house can watch it. The Navy is the excuse for the dances. I was grateful the numbers arrived, because the uniforms were not doing any work.

The service is scenery. The work is the rehearsal. That split is worth saying if a kid thinks a sailor suit is a plot. A stage chance nearly goes, which is the only thing anyone stands to lose. Put the dances on if you want them. It will not teach anybody what a fleet is for.

Journal

Keep Follow the Fleet in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 39. Yours can differ.

The glance

Household and Piety and Courage and Republic and Temperance and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

The eight

Industry
The work that matters is the rehearsal, not the Navy they are wearing.
4
Household
Two sisters and two sailors, and the trouble is a chance on the stage.
2
Piety
Nobody is asked to stop; a nearly ruined chance is just the other plot.
4
Courage
The only stake is a stage chance one couple almost ruins.
2
Republic
The fleet is scenery, so the service is not a debt anyone pays.
4
Temperance
Berlin's songs are the pleasure, and another number is always next.
5
Truth
The Navy pretends to be the story, and the rehearsal is the real work.
4
Stewardship
A stage chance nearly goes, and the dances are what you leave holding.

The review

Four suburban men wanted a last wild weekend on a river a dam is about to bury. They got a trip they were not built for. The river was the point, and then it was not. One of them is changed in a way the film does not heal. That refusal to tidy the ending is the honest part.

Adult. Do not describe the assault, and do not make a contest out of who can sit through it. The dam was already going to spend the river for people who do not live on it. One of them carries that change home. If someone in the room goes quiet, stay with that, not the canoe.
