    This is a must see movie ... I remember the first time I seen this great production on the big screen and fell in love with the romantic characters how life tends to not always go the way we would like. This film adds special meaning when you relize that this also covers time in US History that can never be forgotten. I am glad to see this being created on DVD ... I will add this one to my Christmas list.
