  I think this is one of the best black and white world war II films I have seen in a long time. It has a fantastic story showing the draining emotions of waiting for loved ones gone off to war not knowing when or if they will return. I wish it was available in the UK on DVD (I know it can be bought for the US market). Brilliant film - should be on TCM more - I have only been able to see it once and it made a great impression.

  I think Evelyn and Tommy end up in Auckland, NZ. That makes much more sense and that is what I heard. Any one else? I am ordering James Michener's book of short stories that contains Until They Sail.

• LOVED IT!

  It is rare that Paul Newman shows real love emotion. That's why I adore this movie. I wish TCM would play it more often!

• Terrific Movie

  there is no such thing as a bad jean simmons movie, and this one also has paul newman. as effective a war story as "mrs. miniver," showing that life on the home front could also be horrific. excellent, excellent movie.

  Great actors set in New Zealand during WWII. While it is a fictional story one can imagine that stories similar to this were actual happenings during this tumultous period in world history.

• Wonderful Movie.

  One of the best movies ever. TCM is the only station to play this great movie, and I am hoping they will show it again soon. A terrific movie not to be missed.

  I have seen this many times on TCM, and always enjoy it. I've recorded it on a VHS tape so I can see it whenever I wish. Paul Newman at a young age--charming!

• One of the best!

  This is one of my favorite WWII romance movies & TCM is the only place I can see it, which is why I'm BEGGING you to please show it for me. Excellent cast, excellent script, excellent direction--what more can you ask for in a movie? This is one not to be missed!

  This is a great war/love movie, and all the actors shine in it. I'd like to see this shown at least once a year on TCM. They just don't make 'em like this anymore!
