Film.com's FREE movie of the week is "Love the Hard Way." Oscar-winner Adrien Brody and Charlotte Ayanna star in this drama about a thief who falls for a curious, beautiful young woman. As their intimacy grows, a slick cop (Pam Greer) is closing in.
It is 1935. The adolescent Emil is sent off to live with his worldly uncle, Dr. Ernst Fuchs, in a Czechoslovakian mining town in the Sudeten region, close to the German border. Following an unexpected divorce from his glamorous Hungarian wife, Emil's uncle marries Martha, his stout, submissive German maid. What begins as a marriage of convenience develops into a genuine love story as the mixed couple--he's Jewish--bravely face the mounting Nazi terror.
