Review:

Beautifully shot film with two very good leads in Omar Sharif and Michael Caine. It's not the best film of either one, but it's worth a viewing if you are a fan of one or of both. Bonus points for having Florinda Bolkan in the lead female role. A beautiful blonde is well-cast in the only other female role. The film is set during the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) in a southern German town. And yet the focus falls not on the war itself but on how to survive the cold German winter. The film might seem slow when judged by today's standards but the plot moves along while raising an interesting question or two for the viewer.

Whoops, looks like something went wrong.
