En 1941, en Branagan, Michigan, la bella y vital Ethel Ann Roberts roba el corazón de tres amigos, Teddy Gordon, Jack Etty y Chuck Harris, todos jóvenes aviadores. Sin embargo, Ethel Ann sólo tiene ojos para Teddy, un chico de campo de rostro franco y cautivadora sonrisa. El idilio es apasionado y ambos hacen planes para el futuro, pero el ataque japonés a Pealr Harbor hará que los chicos de Branagan resulten llamados a filas para la guerra. Tras una boda secreta, Teddy parte con el anillo de Ethel, la promesa de amor eterno de ésta, y un pacto con Check según el cual si él no logra regresar, aquél se hará cargo de su mujer.

Too much sentimentality on a too cliché topic. Even though the old school Richard Attenborough often uses high-quality ingredients (actors, a skillfully interwoven and fitting plot), I can't help but feel that it was too tearful, unexciting, and above all, unjustified. An unusually old-fashioned film that doesn't have much chance of appealing to a wider audience today. Unfortunately, even the tinkling of the romantic string didn't sit well with me, and it seemed a bit more cumbersome than necessary. Maybe the director should retire after all. It was very noticeable.

A story written with admirable precision and, above all, directed with admirable precision, in which in the end there was not a single character and not a single extra scene. It's hard to find the right words. The performances of all the actors were perfect, the script was so incredible and yet so ordinary at the same time, every minute of the film revealed a new piece of the big puzzle, the ending was touching but also not cheap... Bravo. The interplay between Shirley McLaine and Christopher Plummer was a joy to behold, as was the creation of my favorite Pete Postlethwaite.
