It takes a certain amount of directorial vision to take a chapter out of one's own life set in the period before World War II, add dollops of humour and come up with a thoroughly engaging film.
As war films go, this is not a gritty look at the horrors of war. It is, however, a look at how people get so caught up in the business of living that before they know it, world events are right at their doorsteps; how, despite the mayhem around, one strives to live as ordinary a life as possible, and how misery makes for strange bed-fellows.
