This wasn't a bad film. Good acting, but I just thought the cast was too old to have just been in the second world war. The characters all seem to be in their mid to late 50s, but most people serving in the military during the second world war were in their 20s to 30s, or at the very oldest in their 40s. I could see perhaps that these high ranking military personnel were older, but they have them in their 50s is a stretch. I think this film might've been a lot better with a younger cast in their late 20s or early 30s. For the folks who complained that the movie was all filmed in one room, it's probably because it was based on a stage play. I don't like movies that are based on stage plays for that reason, but this one kept my attention. I usually enjoy movies during this particular time period . And I believe they got the music and the zeitgeist of that time fairly correct, but once again, that cast was just too old. And I'm not an ageist. I'm in my 60s.
