A superb quintet of older actors give the simple story of A Foreign Field a rich and resonant texture. Amos (Alec Guiness, Kind Hearts and Coronets, Star Wars) and Cyril (Leo McKern, Rumpole of the Bailey) are two British World War II veterans who return to the beaches of Normandy, where they'd come ashore almost 50 years earlier. They run into an American veteran named Waldo (John Randolph, Prizzi's Honor) and a woman named Lisa (Lauren Bacall, The Big Sleep, Dogville) whose brother died on D-Day. Waldo and Cyril have both come seeking the same woman who comforted them when they were wounded--but when they find her (Jeanne Moreau, Jules and Jim, La Femme Nikita), she's not what they remember. Nothing dramatic happens in A Foreign Film--the characters bicker, become friends, and go to graveyards--but in the hands of this group of great talents, small emotional moments seem full and rewarding. This is a sweet and gentle movie that carefully avoids any saccharine sentiment. Also featuring Geraldine Chaplin (Nashville, Talk to Her) and Edward Herrmann (The Cat's Meow, The Paper Chase). --Bret Fetzer

This is an excellent movie , a bit slow at the start but it soon picks up and we are entertained with comedy&drama. How could any film with Alex Guiness who plays a very different role in this movie, Lauren Bacall, Albert Finney and Geraldine Chapman be anything but good. We saw the movie with friends and then bought our own copy. Veterans will especially enjoy it.

While not without imperfections this film had a powerful story to tell. It's not a new idea, making a film about a group of strangers thrown together and showing how they learn to relate to each other. But these particular actors were outstanding and the film builds beautifully toward the final scenes when a few heart-rending twists are added. Keep your kleenex handy! What about the imperfections? Well, I get tired of the worn-out characterization of the bar girl with the good heart. And then ... Read More

A fine film depicting the human side of the war experience. Each person had a special memory and story. Of course, the actors are all the very best. So happy I purchased this film.

You should but this now! I first saw this fabulous movie on Masterpiece Theatre many years ago and taped it for myself then, but now I want the DVD version too. Touching, hilarious and for young people today who know virtually nothing about WWII or intricate human relationships, it has even become educational.
The story starts with the coincidental meeting of American and British veterans of D-Day in France. The performances by everyone in the cast are at the top of their form and for ... Read More
