User Reviews

Heartrenching and moving film

A work of art . The film was a great piece of tv film making the acting was good. One of the greatest of Daniel Steel's work . The story was told beautifuly with great compassion and resolve. Althought the film did have drawbacks . The lack of actual historical content . In particular did not drum across the German side well enough . Otherwise a great work compared to others like it including woman at war the bbc's story of life in nazi Germany
