Gifted workhouse director, Sidney J. Furie's palpably bizarre wartime morality play about an especially 'sensitive' captain in the USAF, and his singularly fraught Journey to lose his virginity before a final bombing run, climaxes awkwardly after a series of uncommonly strange happenings! 'During One Night' is demonstratively not great cinema, yet it is, arguably, not an entirely objectionable film either, since it fortuitously errs all-too tantalizingly into proto-John Waters, Ed. Wood Jr. WTF territory. With only a modicum of irony, I earnestly claim that it merits a cautious recommendation for those twisted cineastes who savour the more esoteric elements of forgotten cinema! And, Holy Bromide!!! For the not-yet swinging 1961s, the weirdly didactic potboiler proved to be a remarkably racy one; and should anyone have longed to witness eternal English Rose, Susan Hampshire desultorily disrobing during a 'romantic' tryst in a bucolically-imagined, salaciously straw-slathered studio/barn, well, needfully yearn no longer, because Furie delivers said frisson-inducing titbit with a laudable lack of taste!
While Sidney J. Furie's moderately compelling cinematic oddity, 'During One Night '(1961) aka 'Night of Passion' remains a curate's egg, and stodgy lead actor, Don Borisenko, is stultifyingly imbued with all the electrifying screen presence of day-old semolina pudding, miraculously, the pleasantly naive drama's inadvertent lapses into wholly unexpected mondo movie eccentricity proved fitfully amusing!
