Steve D 03/29/2024 I found it lumbering and inert. See more Mike F 08/17/2023 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. See more 03/15/2018 Great story and cast. One of my favorite old films. See more 03/07/2018 A wartime makeover Drama. Realistic and subtle, funny and true on so many levels. Predictable ending, but satisfying.
