Stuck in a Mexican border town...
“Hold Back the Dawn” (1941) takes place in a Mexican border town filled with European emigres hoping to gain entrance into the United States. The small, sun-drenched town is dusty, hot, and dull. All those wanting to gain entry into the United States can do is bide their time and make the best of a bad, hopefully temporary situation. Among them is George Iscovescu (Charles Boyer), a Romanian who gets the demoralizing news that the wait time for emigres from his home country is eight years.<br /><br />An unexpected encounter with his former professional dance partner and old flame Anita Dixon (Paulette Goddard) reveals that she married an American to shortcut the immigration process and divorced him as soon as she was granted citizenship. Inspired, George attempts to follow the same plan but the only American women he finds want a brief flirtation and are already married.<br /><br />His prospects brighten with Emmy Brown (Olivia de Havilland), an American schoolteacher in town on a field trip with her class. She is enchanted with George’s courtly manner and falls for him. Things appear to be going according to plan until George realizes he’s developing real feelings for Emmy.<br /><br />Director Mitchell Leisen bookends the story with George on the run, disheveled and out of breath, approaching a movie director (played by Leisen) he has met before and offering to sell his story. Intrigued, the director listens to his tale, and virtually the entire film unfolds as a long flashback.<br /><br />Boyer, whose screen portrayals often have an element of gigolo, is a perfect fit for George. Paulette Goddard is well cast as a tough broad who’s learned how to play the angles to get what she wants. Olivia de Havilland is very good as well, though her character is troublesome. The enamored teacher Emmy seems awfully irresponsible and naive not to see through George’s feigned attraction to her. She doesn’t seem appropriately concerned with the welfare of her students, allowing them to toss lit firecrackers at pedestrians and even leaving them in the care of strangers when telephoning her school to explain that she and the children will have to stay in Mexico overnight because their bus broke down.<br /><br />Written by Billy Wilder and Charles Brackett, the movie lacks the wit of other Wilder pictures. Apparently, the script contained more humor — some of it dark — that didn’t wind up in the finished film, making it more melodramatic. This was Leisen’s decision. The idea of being trapped indefinitely and its effect on individuals was used a year later in “Casablanca” with “letters of transit” the only way out of the Nazi-occupied country. “Hold Back the Dawn” went on to receive Oscar nominations for Best Picture, Best Actress (Olivia de Havilland), and Best Screenplay.<br /><br />The plot hinges on U.S. immigration quotas that were established for various countries. The issue of controlling migration from the south has been problematic for politicians for decades, and recent headlines about migration from Central American countries give the film a timely relevance.<br /><br />Bonus materials on the unrated, newly restored Blu-ray release include an audio commentary, filmed appreciation of the movie, audio interview with Olivia de Havilland, radio adaptation of “Hold Back the Dawn,” image gallery, booklet, and reversible sleeve.
