An unforgettable story of forty gallant years.
Screen Path places this 1943 film at stop 219 in one curated journey through cinema. The learning experience adds context before you watch and deeper analysis after.
General Candy, who's overseeing an English squad in 1943, is a veteran leader who doesn't have the respect of the men he's training and is considered out-of-touch with what's needed to win the war. But it wasn't always this way. Flashing back to his early career in the Boer War and World War I, we see a dashing young officer whose life has been shaped by three different women, and by a lasting friendship with a German soldier.
