Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

mataof61 I haven't seen the documentary, All This and World War Two,however I did buy the album many years ago and really enjoyed it,the various versions of the Beatles songs were really well done, especially the Bee Gees - Golden Slumbers. And so recently,I have found the soundtrack from the documentary is available on CD from Hip-o-select, a online music store for hard to find - classic music,trust this helps anyone out there. If any one does find this documentary is available on DVD,I would be grateful to know.Thanks for sharing the information about this movie/documentary. I have found this information to be very helpful and I am glad this forum exists to help people like myself to find info out. Thanks

gfreebirdk4 I saw this film about six times over a month long period at sea while serving on the USS Parche (SSN 683) way back in 1978. It was still on 16mm format at that time! I enjoyed it immensely as did many others in the crew (thus the repeated viewings) because of the odd marriage of WWII movie and newsreel footage with Beatles music. Remember, this was a time when movies featuring rock music soundtracks were in vogue (Pink Floyd's The Wall and Zeppelin's The Song Remains The Same come to mind), so I can see why 20th Century thought it might play well. I for one would love to see this come out on DVD so I could add it to my collection. Considering some of the trash that makes it to the home entertainment market these days, it's not that bad a film. Not to mention the message it leaves us with is as timeless now as it was in the 1970's-- give peace a chance!

rod-83 For those who don't read the message board: I first saw this film on cable TV about 1977-78. Since I'm into history (especially military, especially WW2), film, and music (not an unequivocal Beatles fan--I liked their Revolver/ Rubber Soul period best), I loved it. I got the soundtrack record album, which had photos, but really wanted the film. I checked the film books each year, but if listed at all, it was as not available on tape or disc. I kept looking for it to air again on TV (so I could tape it), but never saw it. Now that I'm into DVD, I'm hoping it'll be released in that format.

dmk2 I first saw this film on British TV (shown in the middle of the night during a TV based 24 hour fund raising event). Worried I might fall asleep before the film, I recorded it.It remains one of my prized possessions.The film's message (and final song) is 'Give peace a chance'. It is a remarkable collage of film clips (from movies and documentaries and actual war footage) and music. The film is an entertaining presentation of history, showing many aspects of the second world war.Particularly interesting for historians of WWII and/or Beatles music.Over the Christmas 1992/93 I saw a similar film on Dutch TV using classical music and footage of the Balkan conflict (the Serbia vs Croatia one, for those who have lost count), showing the carnage of the war. Since then we've had Bosnia. Now it's Kosovo.Perhaps it is time to re-release this film for a new generation.Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.
