Wow! Does this film "bomb!"

Rating: Null/10 (26 May 2001)

This has got to be the sappiest, schmaltziest war-time romance ever. And it's disguising itself as an historical drama. Granted, the attack sequence (when it FINALLY arrives) is most spectacular. But that doesn't excuse the rest of this sorry mess. And why does it go on for another 45 minutes? The audience I was with (all 15 of them) were clearly getting fidgety toward the end.
For a much better war romance (and one that doesn't mask the notion that it is a love story) I recommend "The Americanization of Emily."

Send this soap opera to bottom of the bay!
One final notion: Why was a man playing Betty? That seems odd to me.
