A mute sweeper at a classified Government facility develops a romantic bond with an alien creature that the facility hosts. This movie plays right out of the 1960s musical reels with commendable performances from Hawkins and Shannon. Also, the humour thrown in by Spencer and Jenkins is guaranteed to tickle your funnybone. Would I recommend this movie, yes. Do I think it deserves the best movie award, no. Probably the romance of the 60s got to the Academy. What stands out for me though is the brilliant mute dialogue by Hawkin's to Jenkin's character on why the creature should be saved, which I found was truly deep with a strong message therein.
