Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With soft box office and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Who'll love it: Best for anyone who likes a story with a soundtrack worth keeping and history and war-film fans. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Shelve it next to Wings. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost.
The mood: Warm and romantic.
The pace: Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 36 min.
What might put you off: Made in 1956: an older pace and style.
Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

A French ballerina falls in love with an American paratrooper on a two day pass in London near the end of World War II.
