I think this film is a very good television movie that did not receive a lot of credit or attention. Interracial romances have always been controversial from L.A. Law to All My Children. Remember Michelle Greene got more hate mail regarding her kiss of African American actor, Blair Underwood, than when she kissed female Amanda Donohoe and that was in the early nineties. Courtney B. Vance plays an African American soldier during World War II who meets and falls in love with Kerry Fox's character, an unhappy wife of a British soldier and mother. The casting is excellent with Ned Beatty and Rolf Saxon reminding the African American soldiers to keep their hands off the British women. I felt this film showed another side of the war. It was just as ugly. The segregation of black and white soldiers is unforgivable part of American history. I disliked the unhappy ending so I gave it a 9 but other than that. I felt this is a movie that should be seen and discussed about for years to come.
