i love period movie and this one capture the time and place as well a it be possible . the humor be gentle and very touching . the scene of the 4th of july morning and when all the young boy come out with their firecracker never fail to put me on the floor laughing . wallace berry delivery of the one word line soup . be almost worth the price of admission by itself . i heartily recommend this movie to anyone who have a heart . it will be touch .
