Out of the Cold. You probably have not seen this movie. You probably have not heard of this movie. It does have a pretty good cast, and Keith is utterly charming, but it’s just a hopelessly awkward film.
The idea is, on the face of it, quite good: Keith plays a washed-up, alcoholic Broadway star who winds up in Estonia on the brink of WWII. Caught between the Nazis and the Soviets, he manages to find his inner hero to try and protect his Jewish girlfriend and survive the war. It’s sort of supposed to be Casablanca with tapdancing.
But oh my god, movie. The fact that Keith at one point has to chop off his own leg with an axe in the middle of Siberia - and somehow survives - probably tells you most of what you need to know. Also, Mark Sheppard plays Keith’s Comedy Russian Roommate. Oh, and Keith can’t actually tapdance, which is a bit of a problem. Couldn’t they just’ve made him a singer instead? Or would that have led to him having to cut out his vocal cords?
Fortunately the agegap romance is quite sweet, even if Mia Kirshner seems to be made out of cardboard. Her character’s name is Deb. Oh yes.
