Absorbing character drama and tearjerker that focuses on the deep friendship between three German war veterans. For once, the appearance of a woman doesn't threaten these men's friendship but actually binds them closer together. Could perhaps have benefited from a more fatalistic outlook given the characters' pasts, but is solid entertainment nevertheless. Was there ever, I wonder, an operation which required the patient to lie perfectly still for a fortnight afterwards?
