  • Everybody knows that Sir Richard Attenborough is a gifted filmmaker who can always be relied upon to turn out a polished product. Less well known is Peter Woodward, who makes his debut here as a writer, having been inspired by the real life discovery in Ireland of an American airman's wedding ring lost during the Blitz. Whilst his script is overlong and suffers from having too many endings, the story he tells is still a powerful one which many viewers will find moving.
