After discovering her attorney boss and lover is actually a secret agent, she convinces him to let her go undercover. With the help of a fellow operative she penetrates the Berlin home of a high-ranking enemy official, and works swiftly to accomplish her mission. Amazon.com: Uncomfortably close to Ben Hecht and Alfred Hitchcock's film Notorious, this World War II drama (based on a novel by Susan Isaacs) concerns a love affair between a spy (Michael Douglas) and a secretary (Melanie Griffith) that goes south when duty turns him cold and pushes her into dangerous, behind-the-lines intelligence work. Liam Neeson plays the gentleman Nazi unwittingly providing Griffith with cover as domestic help. The best parts of the film are the twists and turns in the romance (Douglas is very good at playing a character who can turn off all feeling at will) at the beginning, while the German scenes are less compelling despite such high stakes for the heroine. The climax--taking us back to Notorious whether it wants to or not--is quite gripping, largely due to Douglas's performance. --Tom Keogh Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Spellbound love and mystery story My husband and I first viewed Shining Through on television. After it was finished, I realized I had been holding my hand in a fixed position too long and also breathing shallow breaths. We decided to go to our favorite store, Amazon, and see if we could purchase it because it was not a recent movie. As always, we were successful. We have started a DVD library so we can view good selections. Excellant acting, surpise ending which was uplifting. Wonderful mystery with lots of conflict. Melanie ...

I've been looking for the DVD for several years since I lost my VHS. My daughter suggested I look on the Amazon website and there it was. Rating: - a favorite romanceThis movie has all the action and romance that I love. The characters are believable as a couple. The story is exciting and keeps you guessing. Rating: - Great MovieThis movie is one that our teenagers like also. In this day and age that is hard to find. We like the fact that it does seem to be very real. Our oldest daughter asked about the movie when they were studing WWII Germany in World History. So I had borrowed this movie from my Mother. Once they saw it they decided that we had to own it as well. Rating: - Tess McNeil Goes To WarI remember years ago Siskel and Ebert on their annual "Worst Movies of the Year" show figured "Shining Through" prominently. Based on their assessment that was impetus for me to avoid the flick. When I asked my wife what her favorite movie of all time she told me it was "Shining Through". This caused me to scratch my head. Now I had to check out the flick that Siskel and Ebert dismissed as dreck but my wife thought was pure gold. My unbiased opinion is...not bad but not great. My enjoyment depends ...
