| Aggrieved fighter/bomber pilot finds love and peril in Burma at the end of WWII Peck is great and, in her only film, Win Min Than is a knockout, in this adaptation of H.E. Bates novel. This seems very cliched now but these were the stories that set the cliches so... Failed to find Dorothy Alison in there anywhere and wonder if she were a casualty of the 97 vs 101 minute versions, though the Amazon copy clocks in at 102 minutes. Dunno. |
