Summary: When a young man - the son and grandson of career military men - resigns from the army on the eve of war, he finds himself branded a coward by his family, friends and fiancé.
Things I Liked: The riveting dramatization of the film's theme (a comment on cowardice and bravery). I cannot remember the last time I've seen a film's message more clearly depicted and/or explored. The humor and setups are well-done.
Things I Disliked: Oddly, the film suffers from one of today's more common maladies: the inclusion of too many epic battle scenes. The story's pace could be much improved by cutting out some of the film's longer shots.
