      Robert E. Sherwood LIFE A charming play which has been converted into an obvious and none too thrilling rehash of all the previous epics of the Great War. Oct 5, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member A silent romantic war firm is about young American aviators fighting for Britain during WW 1 who are billeted in a field next to a farmhouse in France. The daughter who lives on the farm meets and is attracted to one of the aviators. The movie offers several phrases beginning with slapstick, becoming an intense romance, then segueing into an aerial showdown. The film was overly sentimental, redeemed by the aerial sequences including several crashes. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member The best romance movie ever made! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member OK WWI silent made post WWI Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member See it for Moore, possibly for Cooper, definitely not for the plot.
