the previous reviewer have say it exactly . i saw it once and be enchant and saw it a second time when it be re broadcast within a week or two of the first airing . i still remember some of the scene . the setting be the opening of the 20th century and the war refer to in the title be world war i. one of the scene be set in a woman only section of a public place and which be an interesting historical note . the moment when one of the woman first touch the other be one of my all time great movie moment . i do not think of this a a gay movie and it an interesting and tender period love story and where the two principal happen to be woman . i would love to see this movie again while i would buy this one if it ever come out on dvd .
