Dear Uwe,

This is a really wonderful movie, whether you are a Franco-Prussian War fan or like really well-made movies for entertainment.

I will not spoil the surprises, but will say, I believe you will want to watch this many times over, and each time you will find something new and something fascinating about it. I have only seen it twice in 13 years, and am only beginning to discover it's superiority.

It is I believe a French production, but you will be pleasantly surprised at who the "real hero" is!

Happy Viewing! (and please give us your opinion)

Dear Dave,

wow, now I can't wait to get this movie. The war of 1870/71 is one of my favorites, because we have such a colourful armies.

I will write you, how I liked it.

cheers

I read this thread. Went to my library's website and found that my county, Morris in New Jersey, USA owns two copies. Can not wait to view it!

The movie is about family, and togetherness!
