Most helpful review A Time To Love and A Time To Die

  • The German perspective

    Rated - 4.0 stars

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Not a trace of an American or Briton in this setting of Remarque's (All Quiet on the Western Front, The Black Obelisk) novel Zeit zu leben und Zeit zu sterben. Indeed, Remarque appears as a blacklisted professor. The story line is powerful and, for the time, unsentimental. There are nice directorial strokes. The quality of the acting is so-so - Keenan Wynn is very good as a Nazi officer laid up with gout. It's good to see it available on DVD, as it seemed to have disappeared.

  • When time runs out for love

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By LaurenceScotford (48 reviews) from Hove, England , 04 Jun 2011
    A timeless and compelling story of how, even in the midst of war, we are driven to seek out the love and companionship of others. What really makes this film great is it the sense of time running out for the central characters. The inexorable advance of doom makes each fleeting experience more precious. Recommended if you are looking for an intelligent tragic romance to lose yourself in for a short while.

  • a time to love a time to die

    Rated - 1.5 stars  
    By Donhal (3 reviews) from Redditch , 18 Oct 2010
    This film is a typical 50's romance movie, not much action, corny story and sex depicted by a fade out or shot of the ceiling,pretty boring really. BUT it brought back some great memories for me, my only reason for watching it
