    I love this period of time and this movie is so very romantic, the music is beautifully romantic and boy oh boy does Harrison Ford deliver. (It's a young and yummy handsome Harrison Ford and a beautiful Leslie Ann). Of course they have a hot and steamy romance and I won't give away the ending. There's action packed sceens with the two men racing through Germany with the enemy hot on their trail. It's mine and my husband's favorite WWll love story. You will love it too.

    Well done WWII period piece about an American pilot stationed in England who falls for a woman (Lesley-Anne Downs) who turns out to be married w/a family. The ins & outs of the movie are a bit predictable, but the ending is anything but usual and therefore makes the film quite a good one. Christopher Plummer is superb in his role as the unknowing husband who ends up on a flight tour with the young pilot. Worth a rental and a bit of a good movie watching.

    First, this is not a PG movie. It's interesting to see Harrison Ford when he just became an actor, looking very much like his character in American Graffiti. Some great war footage with B25 bombers add to the storyline. Lesley Anne Down was only about 23 when the movie was made.
