      Audience Member Loved it! One of Chamberlain's best. I was lucky enough to see it on TV when it first aired. Best biopic ever. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member I liked this film for many reasons. All scenes with Chamberlain, Colley, and the older jewish characters were excellent. The love story was a bore. Some scenes weren't cut well. Needed more Nazis and perhaps more explanation about the Hungarians at the time. Other than that, I doubt they could have done much better. It's a sad story and I salute those involved. It was a bit long but worth the watch for sure. :) Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
