"This film is a rare exception for me, as normally I love WWII-era films, but this one is incredibly maudlin and melodramatic. I DO realize that this film started a fire in many Americans to help the British in defeating the Germans during the war, but the dialogue is often times preachy. It's also well known that this film is straight-up propaganda (even William Wyler admits to it), but my biggest problem with the film is the damned accents - why the hell didn't Walter Pidgeon adapt an English accent? He IS an actor, correct? I HATE it when actors don't don appropriate accents for the films their in, and to his credit, at least Richard Ney is ATTEMPTING an accent. Walter Pidgeon's vanilla white performance took me out of the story every time he was on screen, and the German in the kitchen scene is also way over the top and highly unrealistic. Sorry folks, just not a very good film (especially for a Best Picture winner)! "
