Rating:  - Half a Great Film Anyway
For the first hour it brims with great scripting, editing, and camera work. By the end you find yourself wishing they'd just go AWOL and catch a ride back to the states. If you want to stay riveted to your seat you simply can't go wrong with Schlesinger's "Midnight Cowboy". Never could say much for most British film makers, but many of them have made really crackerjack films about us yanks!
Rating:  - Gem of a movie
I'm one of those people that believe this movie is a gem and really overlooked as a great war movie. Granted, the only time you see shooting is when they are training (with live ammo) for D-Day. But it's a great insight into what life was like not only for the American troops but also for the British citizens when hundreds of thousands soldiers suddenly arrived in Britain.

I first watched this movie because we were going over to the towns where it was filmed in the UK. Once a year they have a "Yanks event".

Rating: - Yanks Review
A fine WW2 story of our troops awaiting the Normandy invasion in a small English town --
Excellant for adults who remember those times, the "Little darlings" wouldn't understand it.
Rating:  - Fine Film
A fine film that rings true in its detailed depiction of American soldiers in Britain during wartime. The casting of Richard Gere is a weak link, but the other performers compensate for his narcissistic posing. My DVD from Amazon presented many frustrations, with the screen continually freezing and this was the first viewing of a new disc!).
