A truly beautiful little film. The acting is English, restrained and pure character. It starts as a comedy with delightful badinage between the American and English World War II vets. The dialog is sharp, incisive. You think this will be just another clever amusing story. Then, in the second half, we are catapulted into one of the saddest stories as the details of their pasts and the tragedies of war are gently revealed.
Do not expect guns, bodies and fights - but do expect tears. This film has remained etched in my memory for years.
