NEW YORK VIEW
An unbelievable forgotten film: Seamlessly incorporating real-life archival footage with a ground-level look at one young soldier’s life leading up to D-Day, Stuart Cooper’s unsettling 1975 docudrama should have been a seminal work but disappeared from view at the time. Both a remarkable stylistic stunt and a touching, intimate drama, it’s a must-see classic.

CINEMASOURCE SYNOPSIS
Quiet Tom leaves home and enters the world of war in the British Army with its anxious days of marching and training and waiting only to meet his quick and violent death on the beaches at Normandy on D-Day, June 6, 1944.
