Review

Interesting musical with different style than I have normally seen in this genre of movies.

Lovestory where a young couple are separated by war. Man is sent to the war for two years. He have a woman whom he wants to marry before the war, but they didn't get married. Lady still got pregnant and get a child when this man is on an army.

When this man is on army another more wealthy man sees this lady and wants to marry her. Lady says yes and they will get married. When this another guy - the father of her child - returns from army he will find out the truth that lady wasn't waiting him. Gladly he will find another lady and gets another child with his new wife.

Realistic story, but also quite sad one. Personally I love more romantic movies where love will wait and lovers gets each other, but of course that is not always realistic.

Story is interesting and acting is also well done. It was very interesting to see that all dialogue was sung unlike on most musicals what was quite unique.

In summarty this was movie what was nice to watch and it was enjoyable, but in general it was not my cup of tea. I am not a huge fan of musicals in general even I find them quite often enjoyable. In its own genre this was well made movie.
