I thought the film was excellent -- not only did it accurately depict what was going on during the war, but the interactions of characters was excellent as was the storyline -- it examines friendship, adultery, remorse and a wide range of other emotions.
The chemistry between Hawn and Russell is so thick you could cut it with a knife -- this was, in fact, the film where they met and began their life together as a couple off-screen as well.
Adultery was an all too common reality of war that should not be ignored -- this is one of the few films that shows what happened on this side of the ocean, rather than concentrating on the bloodshed and adultery on the servicemen side.
In the end, the film takes the heartache and remorse and reaffirms the ability of people to choose to forgive, go on with their marriage and re-establish the love.
