Really enjoyed this
After reading the reviews here I was not expecting much. However, the film is a worthy send off for Alan Plater who died in 2010. I always like Robson Green, Kevin Whately and Derek Jacobi and their performances make this production. While the special effects were not that special the acting was excellent and the plot gave me some insight into the Home Guard in World War 2, which reflected rather better on them than we are used to from the BBC TV series Dad's Army.
The film deals with the trauma for parents in WW11 and the pressure on relationships, but in the end is uplifting. I have been watching so much rubbish recently, it seems to me, and coming across something like this was a pleasant surprise. I don't think you will regret spending your time watching it.
