If you happen to be a military enthusiast & a sucker for a good romance, this film's for you!

If you happen to be a military enthusiast, (and a sucker for a good romance) you'll love this movie. It takes place in 1944, in Nazi occupied France during WWII. Everything from the German uniforms & equipment to the vehicle markings are very authentic. Another great thing is that the French speak French & the Germans speak German. It really adds to the realism. I don't even consider the absence of subtitles during these sequences a problem. The acting is carried out in such a way that you don't even realize that you may not be comprehending the spoken dialog. Well done to those actors! Amelie Pick who portrays Janie I think steals the show. Of course Christopher Plummer is superb as always. Again, if you are into military authenticity and a sucker for a good romance (strange combination, I know), then you must see this movie!
