Why isn't this film better known? The acting is beyond superb; the story is bittersweet. But the real star is Normandie itself. It's a war movie without bullets, save for the one that wreaks havoc on one of the lead characters off and on for 50-odd years. Don't miss.

I happened to see this movie on Norwegian TV and it made a deep inpression. It is not about war, but about peace and hatred. Remembver the scene where Lauren Baccall had told that the soldier in the grave was her brother, a German? and Alec Guinnes. the only one whose life had been destroyed by the Germans, made military honors? Hatred breeds hatred, revenge breeds revenge. And when Giunnes' friend told Geraldine Chaplin why he held hand with a "fool" in public places. The Story abut the trip with Jeanne Moreau is just fun.
Recommendable, and without violence. The message comes through without demonstrating violence.

Was fortunate enough to have taped this when it was shown on PBS' Masterpiece theatre and have anxiously awaited for it to be released on dvd.
truly one of the best to watch over and over again...there are a few light-hearted moments but get your hankies or kleenex out.
the entire cast is simply superb.

This is my alltime favorite film, ever since it came out. The combination of fabulous actors, every one of them, a great story, and a completely moving moral element. Anyone who wants to see any of these actors at their best, or see characters develop increasing sensitivity, subtlety, sense of responsibility and love toward each other, you would appreciate this film.

Beautifully written, brilliantly acted.
I have just recommened this to a gentleman who went to Normandy for the 60th anniversary of D-Day. This was written as part of the 50th anniversary commemorations.
I was disappointed to see that it wasn't reshown as part of the recent memorial. It is the most touching movie I have ever seen. There are twists but they are believable and done so gently the effect is all the more startling.
Themes of reconcilliation and sacrifice and intermingled with the charcters and their splendid devotion to duty and the memories of those long gone.
We should never forget. And never has a jam jar meant so much.
Watch this movie. And Brian if you read this I am sorry it appears it is only on VHS not DVD. But get it anyway.
