 |  | A pleasing WWII love story. |  |
This is very much a well done Hallmark movie that takes place during one of the World War's. The love story is kept clean and the background is so authentically done that one really feels like it is taking place in Italy. Hallmark knows how to make a pleasant movie that has light action in it. And this is one of their best.

This is a wonderful movie with no blood, gore or sex, but enough realism to give you glimpse of a (war)time and place and what war does to people (ie, ratting on their neighbors, et al). Barora Bobulova is a very good actress. She and Callum Blue are great together. I will watch this movie again and again and never tire of it. It reminds me of the 40's movie, "Random Harvest" with Greer Garson and Ronald Colman - a true war movie classic.

This is one of my most favorite movies ever! I brings to life a simple romance in the midst of war. The actors are really good, and story line is clean. I would recomend for anyone of any age. I remember when I was 6 or 7 and my parents were watching it and I remember little bits of it. Then about a month ago I saw it at the library and instantly recognized it, even though I hadn't seen the cover for almost a decade. I also have a fine on it at the library for having it too long...
May 7, 2007I think this is one of the most adorable movies I have ever seen. I think as far as made for tv movies go this one is excellent! The actors were all great! Also what makes it such a good movie is that is a true story.

The two leads in this (apparently true) tale of love, courage and sacrifice in war are very attractive and well suited to their roles. I had never heard of either Callum Blue or Barbora Bobulova but I would like to see more of them. The story of how an Italian village (or many of its inhabitants) hid a young English commando from the German occupiers is inspiring, if a little too neat in this presentation, and the photography of the surrounding Italian mountains and the village itself is lovely. I found it interesting that here, as in"Capt. Corelli's Mandolin", a recent movie,is presented the incongruous situation in which the Italians,part of Hitler's Axis presumably, are only too happy to lay down their arms at the first news of Allied successes and make common cause with the Americans or English, as the case may be, despite the presence of the Germans. At any rate, this makes for an interesting love story between the English commando and the young Italian girl whose family first befriends him. Worth watching.
