powerful anti war movie the scene with frederic march in particular and cary grant be quite intense and grim and but there be some relief to counter balance this aspect of the movie in the character play by jack oakie ( comic ) and carole lombard ( sympathy ) . a another person have note this be really direct by mitchell leisen . who be credit a assistant director . this be his second movie ( after tonight be ours and also with march in it ) and he do a fine job . it show what a versatile director he be and consider he make him his name later with romance or comedy type movie like midnight . it be do pre code but re release in 1939 with some edit that apparently lessen it impact ( i have only see the edited version ) . these be refer to in the book mitchell leisen hollywood director . the scene with carole lombard be longer and imply a sexual relationship afterwards . cary grant survive the war but be a broken man . would love to see the original ( please let me know if anyone have it ) . if the edited part be still available this movie would warrant a restoration to it original vision . a dvd release along these line would be most welcome .
