A Midnight Clear
Eventually it becomes clear that the Germans - as young and inexperienced as the Americans - want to give up the fight, but need a way to save face at the same time. A mock combat encounter, perhaps, followed by a surrender.

Settling into their temporary home, they soon discover they are not alone. A group of German soldiers has occupied a position nearby. While out on patrol, Knott, Miller and Shutzer see a trio of German soldiers aiming their weapons at them, but the Germans then vanish without shooting. The Germans, clearly more skilled and experienced than the young GIs, soon leave calling cards, start a snowball fight one evening and offer a Christmas truce. At first, the Americans think the Germans are taunting them, but it eventually becomes clear that the Germans wish to talk to them. Shutzer's Yiddish is enough to communicate with them, and they are revealed to be a small group of teenage soldiers led by an aging officer. Having survived the Eastern Front and sensing that the end of the war is imminent, the Germans say that they wish to surrender. However, they ask that the Americans pretend that the Germans were captured in combat in order to protect their families from possible retribution for their desertion. The Americans agree, but keep the plan from Wilkins, who has been mentally unstable since learning of the death of his child back home.
The film received mostly positive reviews, with an 88% favorable rating on the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes based on 40 reviews. The website's consensus reads, "Beautifully filmed and wonderfully acted, A Midnight Clear is a holiday war film in search of a wider audience."[2] Hal Hinson, a reviewer from the Washington Post lauded it as "a war film completely unlike any other, a compelling accomplishment that's more soul than blood and bullets."[3] Vincent Canby of the New York Times praised the film's solid construction, concluding that "In A Midnight Clear, just about everything works."[4] Writing in the Los Angeles Times, reviewer Michael Wilmington characterized the film as "...not quite a great war movie but certainly a sensitive, bright and supremely moral one" and added that "At its best, it's a barely muted cry against war's stupidity and injustice. With a clear eye, the movie shows us midnight."[5]
When the Office of Physical Plant declares a "Midnight Clear" for snow removal, parking is prohibited at all faculty/staff surface parking lots on campus, including Innovation Park, from midnight through 7 a.m. This restriction includes University vehicles and applies to all employee work shifts, regardless of reporting time.
His opening, photographed in a subdued, almost haunting way by Tom Richmond, immediately creates a sense of odd foreboding. On a clear winter day with a pale blue sky, the camera moves about a handsome stone villa, standing by itself in a clearing in the woods. Beside the building stands a strange statue, a beheaded bishop or cardinal holding his head in his hands.
As Gordon moves the film in and out of the mysterious villa, there is hope for good will. Yet even as the Germans, old men and boys, and the young Americans sing around the tree, there is always the fear that the midnight clear will be shattered by rifle fire.
