Powell and Pressburger are at their best when they claim to
be giving you one genre, in this case a war film, but end up giving you
something much better and surprising. This film depicts the friendship between
a British General and a German officer through the wars of the first half of
the 20th century. Their
relationship began as a rivalry between enemies, and then grew to grudging
respect and then complete admiration, despite being on different sides and
having wildly different opinions.
Even
so, we must realize that our allies and supporters might not come from people
on “our” side. Sometimes people who
disagree strongly are still the human connection we need to keep going in life.
