The scenes that are important to the audience are all omitted, and only warmth, love, friendship and humor are fully displayed. The past events spanning 40 years are surrounded by memories and make up for regrets. The handling of the duel directly affects the 20-year-old "Raging Bull" Deborah Kerr starred in three...

The humor and irony of the film are British, but the themes explored are universal. The choice between love and friendship is a difficulty at the individual level. The collision of old and new ideas in the military is a debate about the country. The relationship between Clive and Theo is a thread that directly links the fate of individuals into the background of the times. This wartime British film playfully depicts Clive's life and exposes the brutal nature of war. It denounced the Nazis,...

One of, if not the greatest British film ever made; a charming, staggering, touching epic looking at elder generation from younger perspective, with powerful characterizations and every shot being impeccably...

The front is too long, the back is better. Some excerpts: General Ying's wife said "How strange and special they were, writing and dreaming of beautiful music and poems year after year, when in fact they started wars, high-fiving unsuspecting ships, shooting Killing innocent people, bombing devastated London, endangering young children. Then they sat down in the same butcher's uniform and listened to Mendelssohn and Schubert." The British said to the POWs: "We will make Germany very soon Stand...

My English is not very much, but my friendship for you is very much. In 1943, I was able to make an English-German officer-based romance film. The British really are. ....

1. The techniques are ahead of the times, and there is no sense of incongruity in the 1960s, which is completely unlike the movies of 43 years; the color texture is full, the diverse scene combinations, the big story structure, etc. are all remarkable. 2. The setting of several women I met in my life is played by the same person is very good, and the gentleman culture is well shot. As a short comment said, this film explains why the United Kingdom followed Germany so well at that time....

[repeated line]
Clive Candy: War starts at midnight!
-
Clive Candy: I heard all that in the last war! They fought foul then - and who won it?
Theo Kretschmar-Schuldorff: I don't think you won it. We lost it -but you lost something, too. You forgot to learn the moral. Because victory was yours, you failed to learn your lesson twenty years ago and now you have to pay the school fees again. Some of you will learn quicker than the others, some of you will never learn it - because you've been educated to be a gentleman and a sportsman, in peace and in war. But Clive!
[tenderly]
Theo Kretschmar-Schuldorff: Dear old Clive - this is not a gentleman's war. This time you're fighting for your very existence against the most devilish idea ever created by a human brain - Nazism. And if you lose, there won't be a return match next year... perhaps not even for a hundred years.
