  A good old fashioned love story
  
  I really enjoyed this film, The tale of a wedding ring lost long ago during the war and its journey back to its owner. Truly lovely and heartwarming.

  Tear jerker
  
  Old fashioned, but beautiful film making. An epic story told in close-up of a lost love and regret makes this a fitting subject for Attenborough.
