London 1943. A chance and interesting encounter happens between bomber pilot Lt. David Halloran (Harrison Ford) and nurse Margaret Sellinger (Lesley-Anne Down). Romance starts blossoming only for Halloran to find out she is already married. Her husband is within British intelligence Paul Sellinger (Christopher Plummer) and both men end up on the same mission during WWII in Germany.
Extremely well-made by writer/director Peter Hyams and mixed with some awesome music from John Barry. To me the movie really hits it stride when Plummer is brought into the story. He is a wonderful actor, but he also adds a much needed push and spark to the story that was starting to feel a little stale. Also great to see Ford after he was in the mega-hit STAR WARS trying out his acting chops in other avenues like a serious romance, although when the 3rd act hits there is action as well. One problem I had though is at the end Margaret's character has not been through what the other two characters have in terms of their love for her. It's alright though as the ending does not ring hollow by any means. If you enjoy world war romance or want to see Ford in an early different role certainly worth checking out. Also starring Richard Masur.
score 6/10
