In the summer of 2014 – the 70th Anniversary of the D-Day Landings – octogenarian Bernie Jordan made global headlines. He’d staged a “great escape” from his care home to join fellow war veterans on a beach in Normandy commemorating their fallen comrades.
But of course it wasn’t the whole story. The bitter-sweet script explores the reality with wit and a very big heart. Bernie’s adventure spanning a mere 48 hours also marked the culmination of his 60-year marriage to Rene – the story celebrates their love without sentimentality and with an eye to the lessons we can all learn from the greatest generation. Starring: Glenda Jackson Michael Caine John Standing.
