"Excellent production"—Chicago Tribune
Silver Spring, MD — Capturing the drama of wartime with a mix of nostalgia, romance, and intrigue, We’ll Meet Again, arrives on DVD from Acorn Media on June 1, 2010. Oscar®-nominee Susannah York stars as a married Englishwoman who has an affair with an American airman stationed in her formerly quiet village. As seen on public television, the 4-volume DVD set includes 13 episodes ($59.99, www.AcornOnline.com).
Four years into World War II, the quiet English village of Market Wetherby is in for a shock—not a German invasion, but the arrival of American servicemen at the new U.S. air base. The newcomers, however, are an altogether different breed. In the opinion of many locals, they’re "overpaid, oversexed, and over here."
Predictably, some of the villagers and "the Yanks' are soon at odds. But others, like local doctor Helen Dereham (Susannah York, Tom Jones; They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?) and base commander Major James Kylie (Michael J. Shannon, The Affair), strike up a distinctly warmer relationship. And in a small place like Market Wetherby, few are left untouched by events.
We’ll Meet Again aired in syndication on public television in the 1980s.
