Every scene seemed to be set up with an eye to gaining an award for cinematography and all failed miserably, whereas a film like Hero really delivers. The Dunkirk scene was the most stylized, unreal and boringly looooong part of the film and all the London street scenes looked like inaccurate sets. So many pregnant pauses it could have had sextuplets! A waste of great actresses like Brenda Blethyn and Harriet Walter. Unfortunately, this film has got the critics eye and will no doubt clean up at the awards, another travesty. Interestingly nearly half the people who commented on this film hated it despite it's high score.

Once an Eagle
(1976–1977)
Still remember it so well after 27 years
7 August 2003
Shown in UK as part of best sellers series along with Captains and the Kings. Couldn't wait for each new part of the mini series still remember it after 27 years so it must have been good. Why doesn't someone show this series again?
