Steve D I found it lumbering and inert. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/29/24 Full Review Mike F Interesting plot that really gets you thinking about what it would be like to be away from your spouse for 3 years and the aftermath. It makes you appreciate the difficulty of living in the days of war and draft era. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Great story and cast. One of my favorite old films. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member A wartime makeover Drama. Realistic and subtle, funny and true on so many levels. Predictable ending, but satisfying. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member 99% boring with a really stupid ending Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member gr8 cast for this WWII tale from WWII Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
