THE CLOCK is a perfect movie within its genre. Set during World War II, the film tells the story of a young corporal (Robert Walker) who has a two-day leave in New York City. He (literally) runs into an office worker (Judy Garland), and the two of them soon fall in love and decide to get married before his leave is up.
Garland and Walker are so appealing and right for these parts, and add such a human element to the story. They have great chemistry and their romance is completely believable. Director Vincente Minnelli does a fine job of showing New York as the backdrop of this story. THE CLOCK is a thoughtful and sensitive metaphor on finding your "one in a million".
