Oh my God, this story is beautiful and you will cry. Kirk Douglas is supurb in his role. Let's face it he is the King of Actors and one of the best and most handsome on the planet. But this role is a low-key, sensitive one that he plays, not a tough-guy type that we all know and love. He is a Holocaust survivor, and is searching for his long-lost love from years and years ago when they were both imprisoned in a concentration camp. He goes back to visit Israel, and decides to try to find out what happened to her. If you have a soft spot in your heart for this era this will be a beautiful film for you.

There is no paper insert that lists the dvd chapters, there is no choice in sound quality, the video portion is closer to VHS quality, and then there is major Hollywood star Kirk Douglas in a movie surrounded by TV actors.

His best movie roles center around him as a foil for John Wayne, where his character has more than a bit of ego and flash, and who would rather mount a horse by jumping on it from behind rather than use the stirrups. But since the death of John Wayne in the late 1970s, good Douglas' movie roles seem to have died as well. You all know Kirk Douglas by the dimple in his chin, and he has been the good natured subject of many an impressionist, especially Rich Little.
I am not sure what Douglas is doing in this movie. His acting career goes back to the 1940s, and his best film roles include, "Spartacus," "Cast A Giant Shadow," "The War Wagon," and "20,000 Leagues Underneath The Sea." He is essentially an action actor, yet here he ... Read More
