The Clock (1945)

This is basically a two person drama with two troubled stars: Judy Garland and Robert Walker.
Robert is Joe Allen, a soldier who has two days leave in New York City, a huge place where he's never been before. Judy is Alice Maybery, another transplant who has lived there for three years.
While Joe is figuring out how to spend the day, Alice trips over him and breaks her shoe's heal, leading them to spend the rest of the day together and gradually fall in love as the night turns light again.
Then they get separated and that is a huge deal, considering they don't even know each other's last names but fortunately, they reunite and decide to get married right away and boy, is that a big deal, having to jump through many hoops just to get married later that day. And they do, in the most unromantic ceremony of all time.
Sure, Alice found the whole thing ugly, but words of God and a lovely evening and the realization that she's truly in love and fate will bring him back after his tour of duty, after all, fate brought them together.
Now, while the film is dated (aren't all pre-1970 films?), it does bring up some timeless issues, including how quickly can two people fall in love with each other and how much do you really need to know about a person before you should marry them? 
But it is lovely seeing Judy Garland in a non-singing role which shows off her acting chops, which are also brilliant. She and Walker are very nature in their parts and have great chemistry, which is the most important thing for this film as that is needed for this film to work and it truly works. Grade: A-
Side Notes:
-Ruth Brady also shines in the small role of Helen, Alice's roommate who has done so much for Alice since her arrival to New York and doesn't approve of Alice dating a soldier. She also doesn't let anyone else get a word in edgewise.
-When Alice's heel breaks and she needs to get done from the ledge, instead of just offering her a hand, Joe picks her up and sets her down. I don't know how I feel about that.
-If Joe returns (which I hope he does), they will have some issues to work out. Alice wants to live in the city for the rest of her life while Joe has a plot of land set aside in his hometown to build his dream house.
-The film has a slightly optimistic, open-ended ending which is rare, but you are rooting for those two to be together forever, though they are also painfully naive.
