A 3 hour tour -- of a sappy love story wrapped around WWII.

Rating: 4/10 (25 May 2001)

Synopsis: A 3 hour tour -- of a sappy love story wrapped around WWII.
This movie was WAY too long - about an 1 1/2 HOURS too long!
The plot was tediously slow in developing the sappy love story. I found myself constantly checking my watch -- waiting - for them to either advance the plot, or tell me more about a character.
Some of the scenes at the bombing, looked too much like "Titanic" -- WAY too much schmultz (sacharin or artificial emotions).
There were some good scenes, to be sure. But the dialogue, acting, and plot really got in the way of this movie.
I personally felt, "TORA! TORA! TORA!" was a much better historical perspective of this chapter of American History.
Rated 3 reels out of 5
