Roger that, Marty. One of the most moving and touching films EVER about what war does to those who fight and those who wait at home.

I wept as those telegrams were delivered and lost it completely when Willie Godboldt’s wife got hers.

I read that the young actress in that role had no idea how to play that scene the morning of the shoot and just let it happen when the camera rolled. She produced — for me at any rate — perhaps the most emotionally wrenching and palpable 20 seconds in any film.

I hope Wallace and Gibson make more movies together and that Nick-Glennie Smith does the scores.
