As I mentioned in a previous comment this movie is one of my favorites. The story is heartwarming and enjoyable for the whole family. There is only one violent scene and no cussing or nudity. I usually avoid movies that have anything to do with war, because I don't care for movies with a lot of violence or destruction. But this movie is more about team effort and working toward a worthy cause. It has numerous references to the Korean War without being immersed in the graphic details. The story shines a bright light on the sacrifices and effort that many in our military perform without a second thought of themselves. The cast does a great job of drawing you into the complexities of the situations. I would highly recommend this movie for families with older kids.

Any way if you are interested in trying to find this film for purchase or to rent, it is available on DVD as "The Narrow Escape."

This is one of those movies that will probably some day be a classic. It is the incredible true story of a navy rescue of a newborn baby at the end of the Korean War. This Christmas story helps you to realize there are some good people out there that don't mind sacrificing for a good cause. Richard Thomas does an outstanding job playing the part of Dr. Hugh Keenan who gently nurses back to health an abandoned baby as the crew of the Point Cruise seeks to find a good home for the child. Although the movie may rank a "PG" rating for some brief scenes of war casualties. It overall is a great movie that the whole family can enjoy. This is one of my absolute favorite Christmas movies and I can't wait to purchase my own copy.
