Pedestrian, brooding WWII period film features stoic Harrison Ford.

Plummer's earnest spy who is really the best among the cast, symapthetic yet clearly obsessed with his work

Action director Peter Hyams is out of his element with this melodramatic World War II drama, which consists mostly of an unlikely tryst between American soldier and British nurse. But I'm a fan of Harrison Ford as he was quite a hero in this late 1970's film.
