A Time Out of War is a 1954 American short war film directed by Denis Sanders and starring Corey Allen and Barry Atwater. In 1955, it won an Academy Award for Best Short Subject (Two-Reel) at the 27th Academy Awards,[1][2] first prize at the Venice Film Festival Live Action Short Film category, and a BAFTA Special Award, among others.[3]
Summary
The film depicts a one-hour truce agreed to by Union and Confederate soldiers who are on opposite sides of a river.[3]
Production
Denis Sanders was in UCLA film school whilst his brother was a UCLA undergraduate. For Denis's thesis, he searched for an American Civil War short story that was in the public domain to adapt into a film.[4] He chose Pickets, an 1897 story by Robert W. Chambers.[5]
Reception and legacy
Critic Bosley Crowther called it "a keen and eloquent little picture".[6]
The prestige of the film led Terry to be hired by Charles Laughton as the second unit director of The Night of the Hunter (1955).[7] Both brothers were then hired to write the screenplay for The Naked and the Dead, which led to film careers for both men.[7]
The Academy Film Archive preserved A Time Out of War in 2007[8] and it was added to the National Film Registry.[7]
