BlazeLime Strong and Moving!

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

gfreebirdk4 I saw this film about six times over a month long period at sea while serving on the USS Parche (SSN 683) way back in 1978. It was still on 16mm format at that time! I enjoyed it immensely as did many others in the crew (thus the repeated viewings) because of the odd marriage of WWII movie and newsreel footage with Beatles music. Remember, this was a time when movies featuring rock music soundtracks were in vogue (Pink Floyd's The Wall and Zeppelin's The Song Remains The Same come to mind), so I can see why 20th Century thought it might play well. I for one would love to see this come out on DVD so I could add it to my collection. Considering some of the trash that makes it to the home entertainment market these days, it's not that bad a film. Not to mention the message it leaves us with is as timeless now as it was in the 1970's-- give peace a chance!

amontalv It's a fantastic film. I had the chance of listening to the music, first and the I went o see the movie and both experiences were great, something that I'd really like to repeat sometime again. I strongly recommend it. The atmosphere created by the director and the songs are really well matched with the II World War scenario. May be I got stuck on the music, because the performers are really great, just to name a few: Rod Stewart, Leo Sayer, Jeff Lynne, Elton John, Ambrosia, The Bee Gees, Keith Moon, Richard Cocciante, and the London Symphony Orchestra, it's really great! Maybe now the film is available on DVD, is it? And I'd be very pleased if you could tell me: Where can I get the soundtrack on CD? Sincerely, Álvaro

odnert I would love to see this movie again. I saw it at the CINERAMA Dome in Hollywood, CA, 1976. The vinyl LP was a double album and had lots of cool stills and lyrics. I still remember the footage of the youngsters riding out to the english countryside in trains with gas masks on. What will it take to get this film printed again?

lupita I remember when this movie came out, and begging my parents to drive me to the theatre to see it. I willl admit, you have to be a fan of the Beatles and into WW2 history to really get into this movie. I am not lying when I tell you that I'm staring at the album soundtrack right now on my shelf in front of me. I could never figure out why they have never released this movie out on video, being that so many 'stinkers' are thrown on the shelves every year. I will admit, when I went to see it (over 20 years ago), there were few people in the audience at the theatre. But the way that the music is in sync with the film footage was really great, but I'm relying on a twenty year old plus memory of the film.
