Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

malcolmgsw I have just finished the excellent autobiography by Oswald Morris who was the Director of Photography on this film.He does a really excellent job,and is the only noteworthy aspect of this risible story.It stretches credulity beyond breaking point to believe that Goring would have a relationship with Schell.Goring is quite good as the officer but Schell is quite wearing as the girl.

jutta-dreesen First i am happy to find a lot of people who are so fond of this film like me!Since years I try to get it in the original English synchronized version,because the German synchronized is,except M.Schell ,with strange and silly voices and stiff dialogs.I am so much interested in hearing the real voice of Marius Goring,and I cannot understand,why he did not speak the German version himself,although he did speak so fluently and without an accent!Both main actors are extremely good in this film ,and all the others too,to my opinion.Iwould be very happy,if I could get an English DVD ,but to get it in Germany is nearly impossible!!

ahill10 Saw this movie as a child but never got to see the end of the film. My wonderful husband tracked down a dubbed German copy re-titled "Wenn das Herz spricht" on the internet for my birthday. Have contacted the Library of Congress--they own a copy but for some reason this U.K.-made movie is not available to the public. Would love to see the original English version that I saw in 1968 while babysitting. The couple came home and I never got to see the end of the movie! It was shown on a cable or PBS channel in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area c. 1968. Maria Schell and Marius Goring were so real and touching in their portrayals. Would love to hear other viewer comments about this poignant and achingly beautiful story.

cushybut I have loved this movie ever since I was a child when it seemed to be on television regularly in the 60s and 70s. It was also my mother's favourite film and I once arranged for it to be shown at the British Film Institute in London as a birthday gift for her.However, just wanted to tell people that it is now available on DVD in Germany. Unfortunately only a dubbed version (with no subtitles) but for someone like me who was desperate to see it again - it was better than nothing. I have absolutely no idea why this film has not been made more available within the UK, on video, or on television where it not been shown to my knowledge within the last 20 years. Once again I have loved this moving love story which given the subject matter of the film could only end the way it does. Also, it is the only film I have seen where Marius Goring was sexy!!
