This is superb - the acting wonderful, sets, clothes, music - but most of all the story itself.
I am amazed there aren't more reviews of this movie - certainly one of the best of the 1980s.
It's also a wonderful movie to see in tandem with the great "Random Harvest" which has much the same opening crisis
-- a middle aged, unknown English W.W.I officer is in a hospital toward the close of the war, suffering from shell shock and complete amnesia without any idea of his name, origin, or anywhere he belongs - he proves to be a very wealthy established man - when he "recovers", he will not remember the years before the war --
But there the movies' resemblances end.
My warmest thanks to all who participated in the movie - particularly the actors Ian Holm, Alan Bates, Ann Margret (what a great and surprising casting choice), Glenda Jackson, Julie Christie.
This one stays with you forever.
