I found the film to be touching in parts and pretty accurate in what I have read about the happenings and going-ons in wartime England circa 1943-4. This film was, I believe, what sparked a very popular British TV series called 'We'll Meet Again'. It is very evident in the similarities - the lady of the manor falling in love with the Captain, the GIs falling for the girls. The gruff parent - in the movie's case it was the mother and in the TV series it was the father (he was a lot harsher than the mother in this movie).
I loved one of the dance hall scenes where a huge fight breaks out between different sets of GIs. The British women, after the fight, were wonderful.
I was left wondering, at the end of the movie, whether the main characters survived the final push. Richard Gere was pretty yummy back in the day too :o)
