I liked "Hold Back the Dawn" even more upon my second viewing of it. This is a nice pleasant enough film which features two great acting performances by Charles Boyer and Olivia de Havilland at their peak. If you can get past the necessarily stilted nature of the script, it is an engaging film even if the ending is sort of dumb. I thought that the middle was the best part. So for this mixture of positive and negative aspects I rate this film a 7/10. And this subject of fiancé visas is evergreen and the theme of a reality show now called "90 Day Fiancé" which is quite good really. (The visa is for 90 days, during which time you must marry them or they have to leave)
