    This is one of Gere's best. A must see for all fans. Gere is superb with a great supporting cast. The story is set in WWI just before D-Day where Gere falls in love but can't commit for fear of not coming back. This one will tear at your heart strings.

    Caught this film on TV one afternoon and ended up recording the end so I didn't miss it - so there must have been enough there to hold my attention. Perhaps it was the fact it was filmed in my home county of Lancashire!

I liked the fact the end of the story was left fairly open - the film finishes when the soldiers are being moved out for the D-Day landings. This means there is still a note of hope, even though we know that the chances of survival are slim.
