Going All the Way
“In love and life there's only one way to go.”
Drama
Korean War--era veterans and ex-classmates "Gunner" Casselman and "Sonny" Burns reunite upon their return home. Gunner, who spent the war years abroad, is trying to convince his mother that his gal Marty is good enough for him, while Sonny, who was stationed stateside, is torn between loyal Buddy and tempting Gale Ann. As they commiserate, the men realize that they're outgrowing the lives they lived before the war.
VIBE
A tender, reflective look at young men navigating love and friendship after wartime. It feels like a warm, slightly faded photograph, capturing the awkwardness and yearning of returning home and facing an uncertain future.
