Wissenswertes
This film is inspired by the true story of Bernard Jordan, a British World War II veteran who slipped out of his nursing home in England in 2014, wearing his war medals pinned to a jacket under his raincoat. He traveled by bus and ferry to France to attend commemorations for the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings.

Jordan announced his intention to make a similar escape in 2015 to attend the next anniversary. He died peacefully at home in The Pines on Jan. 6, 2015.

Patzer
In the very last scene Artie is saluted by the Regiment O.C. Artie returns his salute. In the British Army, you do not salute without a head cover. He should have "braced up". i.e. stood to attention.

Zitate
Friedrich Mueller: It's a shock to learn you've lost the war. It's a greater shock to discover you've been on the wrong side.

An emotional delight

I'm so glad that my wife found this Brit Film. Is was always going to end without laughs but that wasn't what we were looking for. Knowing Pierce Brosnan was an elderly seventy year old like me I was interested to see how he held up as a veteran 23 his senior.

Well, he did so magnificently and convincingly. His tactic was to simply underplay the character as you would expect of such an old man and it worked. No excitement, not many guffaws but nevertheless a good film about real people as their lights fade.

Part of me prefers him as Archie here than James Bond because he's so believable. Steel yourself for the unexpected ending and, oh, have those hankies to hand. A proper gem of a movie.
