Touching, Real Story

My husband and I often rent or buy films about WWII. His father was a pilot who suffered severe injuries in the war. He married a girl from South Hampton. She worked in a factory throughout the war. Her father refused to go into bomb shelters. He'd sit on the lawn, drinking a pint, cursing the Germans. We had seen Steven MackIntosh in the "Prime Suspect," episode 5, wherein he played a hideously vicious gang leader. He was as fascinating as Bill the Butcher in that role. "Land Girls" started out sort of Larky, with 3 girls off to work on a beautifully real old fashioned farm. The scenery is amazing. The Plough horses are lovely. You get a glimpse of Joe's kindness as he brushes down one of the horses, with Ag watching. Altho' he is hard put to turn down the advances of these young women, Joe eventually falls in love with one. Ralph Bellamy has a touching role (he played the imaginary room-mate in "Beautiful Mind") Every member of this cast was brilliant. Nothing turns out as would be expected. It's a point of pride with me that I rarely ever cry but my husband and I had tears in our eyes during many scenes (especially the end) of this elegantly told story. Do buy it! I shall watch it over & over again. Blessings on everyone involved in the making of this lovely film.

the land girls

Being English, I can relate to the trauma's of this wonderful movie. It is real life of war torn England in the face of defeat.They could not have picked better actors for this movie and the scenery of land and the farm are excellant..One could really ""smell"" the farm house and it's surrounds..wonderful!!

A good movie about women in war-time Britain

I came across this movie a few years ago and decided to buy. The movie tell the story of three youngs British women who during WW 2, join the Woman Land Army (Women were need to work the fields, while the men were in combat) And this experence changed theirs live for ever. The action and locations are great. A great movie for any fan of this era.

The book is better

Yes, the scenery is wonderful, but the book is paced better. And, having grown up on a farm, how the heck did they think anyone would thresh grain in the winter? Where were the historical advisers? Threshing is done in the hottest part of the year, usually July.

Beautiful Exmoor scenery, early performance by Ms. Weisz

I bought this movie after I returned from a trip to Somerset and Devon and wanted more of the scenery to savor. (I have a habit of regarding all movies as basically travelogues).

I was not disappointed...the scenery is exquisite. What surprised me was that the movie itself is very good. (I had not heard of it before...just found it in search of Exmoor movies, and I had never heard of the program that sent young city women to work on farms during WW II).

Rachel Weisz was outstanding...it was easy to see from her performance that she is "going places."
