Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Strictly average movie

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

I saw this film for the first time in 1976, on television. I, for some reason immediately made a connection to Summer Of '42 (1971) but I don't connect it to Class Of '44 (1973) but rather, complete a trilogy with Baby Blue Marine (1976) Makes me wonder why the 1970's nostalgic films about ww2 home front USA seem so real and authentic, more so than examples from the 1950's or those made more recently. I love this film, especially the scoring by Billy Goldenberg. I can remember holding a portable cassette recorder up to the television, (circa 1980) to feebly capture some of the beautiful music.When asked by an online community survey to list favorite films about ww2; I listed the first two films of "my" trilogy right along with Best Years Of Our Lives (1946) and The 49th Parallel (1941)Before I caught this film on IFC a few years ago, 1980 was the last time I saw it. I was living on the Eastern seaboard then, and I can tell you that the cinematography showcasing the beauty of New Mexico made me homesick for the Western landscapes that I grew up around.D

I am so glad I found this site and these comments on Red Sky at Morning. I saw this film when I was 13 (36 years ago). As a teen I was just starting to form opinions on relationships. It deeply influenced me for the better I believe. The only coming of age movie that has come close is Stand by Me. I will never forget this movie which considering the number of movies I have watched and deleted from my memory over the 35 years since says a lot. I thought I was the only one that thinks this movie is criminally under rated. If you can find a home made copy please make me a copy. I will pay any amount.No really please send me an email THANKS

For 70s completest and those who have nostalgia for it. Had really looked forward to this one after seeing a bunch of the photo stills and reading all the positive reviews. Finally saw it on IFC recently and found it to be real disappointment, Richard Thomas does an almost laughable job of acting. An OK period piece with some interesting moments and nice cinematography, but certainly not worthy of the raves it often gets from those who are remembering their reaction to it back in 1971 rather than the film itself. There are so many great lost films of the 60s and 70s-and then there are some pretentious clinkers-this falls into the later

In 1971, I went to the drive-in movie in Ceres, California, with my wife and children. We actually went to see another movie and it was a double feature. I LOVED "Red Sky at Morning". To this day, 31 years later, I still think that it was the best movie I have ever seen. I, too, wish it had been committed to tape. I would love to see it again.
