The Clock

“Every second a heart-beat.”

Corporal Joe Allen (Robert Walker) has two days of leave in New York before he ships out for Europe, and he wants someone to spend them with. He finds Alice Maybery (Judy Garland), and the hours they have start to feel like a lifetime. Vincente Minnelli directs Garland in her first role without a song, and he keeps the camera on her face in the crowded city.
