It's odd to find Peter Hyams directing this glossy Second World War weepie, as he is more usually associated with sci-fi action adventures such as 2010 and Timecop. He's certainly more at home with battle sequences than romantic clinches, as is his star, Harrison Ford, who often looks distinctly uncomfortable as an American pilot whose air-raid encounter with nurse Lesley-Anne Down leads to trouble with her husband, Christopher Plummer. Apart from some lovely photography from David Watkin, it was all done much better in the 1940 Vivien Leigh/Robert Taylor vehicle, Waterloo Bridge.

Wartime romance of a rather sticky sort, which turns with little warning into escape adventure, with our hero rescuing his loved one's husband from certain death.

Disappointing
I couldn't make it past 15 minutes. Very formulaeic. Awful dialogue. The only movie with Harrison Ford that I have not been able to watch.

Demy was on a roll: his delightful musicals The Umbrellas of Cherbourg and The Young Girls of Rochefort were among the most popular films to emerge from the French new wave, not just in Europe, but in North America too. Ford had done a couple of bit roles in B movies and on TV,... Read more
