About

You may like this if you’re in the mood for a long, talk-heavy classic war romance with bursts of tension and big emotions; Not for you if you want brisk action or naturalistic dialogue like Bataan or Air Force.

Pros: strong supporting performances; classic wartime premise; occasional rising tension | Cons: slow, overlong pacing; stilted dialogue; uneven lead chemistry
