Yanks Review .......2006-08-07

A fine WW2 story of our troops awaiting the Normandy invasion in a small English town --
Excellant for adults who remember those times, the "Little darlings" wouldn't understand it.

Fine Film.......2006-01-17

A fine film that rings true in its detailed depiction of American soldiers in Britain during wartime. The casting of Richard Gere is a weak link, but the other performers compensate for his narcissistic posing. My DVD from Amazon presented many frustrations, with the screen continually freezing and this was the first viewing of a new disc!).

For Lovers of the British Life.......2005-08-11

This is one of my favorite movies because of the convincing portrayal of life in Britian during WWII. The story is romantic, about Americans coming to Britian to help fight in England and their love affairs with the women of England. What is truley special here is the attention to detail in period dress and atmosphere (except for Richard Gere's 1980s hair) and the explictness of atmosphere of life in England at this time. This is a grown up movie like we rarely see anymore. It is made for audiences that know a little bit about love and life. The movie is character driven and based on a fine script. Every aspect of the production is finely mounted. Great performances also. Especially by the British players.
There are no extras on this DVD which is fine with me. It's not the greatest movie ever made and no one needs to know much about it. In my opinion, unless a movie is a time tested classic, the extras are just that. Extras. Sometimes the extras even spoil the illusion of our favorite movies.
You can lose yourself in this story and go back in time for a couple of hours.

Haunting, Mature Wartime Romance.......2005-07-07

I've always liked this film. It's not for those who like their movies full of cyborgs blasting one another with death rays, or for anyone craving fantasy escapism in a yarn peopled with gnomes and mad magicians. This is a leisurely, realistic film that haunts the mind long after you've seen it with its atmospheric settings and its depictions of love under stress. The acting is uniformly excellent, with Lisa Eichhorn standing out as the pretty English girl torn between two men, one her hometown boyfriend, now fighting in Burma, the other a US Army sergeant newly stationed in England, played by Richard Gere. Then there is the often repressed, adult relationship between US officer William Devane and musician Vanessa Redgrave, both of them married, yet finding in one another a much-needed, if temporary, attachment. These affairs are woven together with cinematic class and ease, and no doubt reflect the experiences of many American men and English women during the war. That it doesn't end with a conventional resolution to anything speaks well for it.

HEARTFELT BUT TEPID.......2005-05-25

This tame little film is marred by limp screenplay and one-note performances by both Richard Gere and Lisa Eichhorn. This movie is so deadly dull that even sensitive turns by William Devaine and Vanessa Redgrave as ill-starred lovers could not hold one's interest for long. Supposedly the story of Americans in England prior to D-Day, the period illusion is completely shattered by director John Schlesinger's disasterous choice of locations--most especially the "American training camp" filmed in the shadow of a nuclear reactor's cooling tower!?! Ridley Scott would never make such an error.
