A Time to Love and a Time to Die (1958)

On the Russian front in 1944 a German Private receives a leave and visits his family in Germany but Germany isn't the same country he left behind.

Well-produced and tasteful adaptation of the Erich Maria Remarque (who even plays a bit part) is unfortunately turned into a romantic melodrama.

Halliwell*: "Interesting but preachy and generally misguided attempt, by the studio which made All Quiet on the Western Front and The Road Back, to repeat the dose in colour and wide screen."

Maltin***: "Intensely dramatic love story...Well-directed version of Erich Maria Remarque novel..."
