Wissenswertes
In the film, there are a series of references to the other films Robert Mitchum and Deborah Kerr made together in the past. After Mitchum first meets Kerr in her dress shop, then steps outside, her granddaughter says to Kerr that she, "should have told him you had gone to the Fiji Islands", is a reference to their working there in "Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison". And when Mitchum asks Kerr to go to a hotel with him after the reunion dance, he says, "Let's go to the Savoy in London, I haven't been there in ages", is a reference to them going there in "The Grass is Greener", 25 years earlier.

Patzer
When Taps was played at the Cambridge American Cemetery the closed captioning said it was a 'lullabye'.

Carl Hostrup: If you ever had an honest to God idea of your own, you wouldn't know what to do with it. You're all mouth kid. You're full of crap, that's what you are.

Excellent bitter-sweet romance

I wasn't even aware of this 30-year-old US TV film from HBO until it was aired recently on the Movie Channel in the UK. I am so delighted to have discovered this bitter-sweet romance, it is an absolute gem.

It is a tale very well told, of renewed comradeship, of rediscovered romance, of tension and understanding between the generations. The emotions are real, the performances superb, especially Robert Mitchum and Deborah Kerr, who bring a special something to this understated but well-nigh perfect script. The rest of the American and British cast are excellent too, but I thought the standout performance was that of Judi Trott as the idealistic teenage granddaughter.

This film satisfies on so many levels, and I shall be watching my recording of it again, I know. Highly recommended.
