The Clock Overview:

The Clock (1945) was a Drama - Romance Film directed by Vincente Minnelli and Fred Zinnemann (uncredited) and produced by Arthur Freed.

SYNOPSIS

All in one 48-hour leave, a soldier meets an office worker, falls in love, and marries her. The film lovingly recreates the landmarks of New York City, especially the magnificent old Penn Station, to serve as the grand backdrop for this whirlwind courtship. Unlike many sentimental romantic tales, this film is built on the small, subtle details of two people falling in love.
