Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

From the arrival of a platoon of GIs in Northern England to their departure for D-Day, this chronicles three wartime romances, supposedly illuminating the fears and tensions that riddled the Anglo-American alliance. Good cast, scrupulous period reconstruction, and sentimentality; but it doesn't do much to redeem Schlesinger from the 'less-than-meets-the-eye' category.
