I saw this movie when it first aired on TV. I was 16, and was beginning to realize that the world wasn't a very nice place.
This movie showed me just how nasty it could sometimes be.
After seeing this movie, I went out and bought the book that inspired the telefilm. Since then, I've re-read it several more times, finding the story more inspiring and more tragic with each read.
I'm older now, and despite seeing "Schindler's List", this movie is the one that I think about, when I think about the terrible waste that WW2 was. And how awful we can be people who bleed the same colour the rest of us bleed.
