      Roger Moore Movie Nation For a film buff, it’s a must-see movie, just for the parlor game "Hey, isn't that?" character actor delights it provides. Rated: 2.5/4 Dec 31, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

      Waldo L This is an extraordinary piece of film and war history. The number of actors who worked essentially for free is amazing and some of the writing is exquisite. Particularly the scene in which the couple find their son is not returning from the war - beautifully handled and such a subtle, moving piece of screenwriting. Lovely performances from an amazing cast. I admit the story itself isn't great, but that pales beside what the movie was aiming to, and does, achieve. Highly recommended. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/03/24 Full Review Steve D No one is given anything worthwhile to do. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/17/24 Full Review Audience Member Conceived as a morale riser for an England under siege this accomplishes that well, that it's full to bursting with the cream of the British and a smattering of American film world at the time makes it a very special viewing experience. Parts of it are achingly affecting. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member EXCEPTIONAL MOVIE WITH AN EXCEPTIONAL CAST, EXTREMELY GOOD. GREAT PERFORMANCE BY IDA LUPINO. WONDERFUL Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member [font=Book Antiqua][size=5][color=black][/color][/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=5][color=#000000]Hey All,[/color][/size][/font] [font=Book Antiqua][size=5][color=#000000] [color=black][font='Book Antiqua']I've got three new updates for ya all. The first one is this movie I had rented from Net Flex on the basis that Buster Keaton was in it. Before I say any thing else this movie was pretty good. Any who I watched and watched, finally Buster was in it for only three minutes as a plumber. Not even a speaking role at that. After I got over my little heart break, I did enjoy the movie. It's about this American who sold this house back to original owners descendants during WWII. The movie takes you through the different years that the house went through and how the American family ended up owning it. I really enjoyed it. There isn't any extra stuff on this DVD but some movies don’t need it.[/font][/color] [/color][/size][/font][font=Book Antiqua][size=5][color=#000000]Fritz ;) [/color][/size][/font] Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
