American bomber pilot David Halloran served in Great Britain during World War II . In 1943 he met the army nurse Margaret Sellinger, with whom he fell in love. Margaret is married to British intelligence officer Paul Sellinger and has a minor daughter.

Halloran and Paul Sellinger are sent together on a secret mission in France. They become friends - at first not knowing that they are rivals. Halloran realizes how much Sellinger loves his wife and in the end renounces the relationship.

Reviews

Vincent Canby wrote in the New York Times on May 18, 1979 that the film was - involuntarily - as funny as a Woody Allen spy comedy . The clichés are omnipresent. The soundtrack sounds so heavenly that the viewer suspects he is already dead.

The lexicon of international films wrote that the “dignified, but hardly exciting melodramatic adventure film” belittles “the war with a lot of external effort” and uses it “only as the background of a male friendship”. It should convey the feeling of the “lost generation”, but all that remains of this project is “neatly staged boredom”.

Awards

Patsy Kensit was nominated for the Young Artist Award in 1980 .
