  Review by Fireballoon ★★★½

  Based on the play by Karol Wojtyla, the owner of a jewelry shop in Krakow traces the intertwining fate of two couples through the years of World War II and up to the adulthood of their children. Wise and observant about the things that give true value to human relationships. Starring Burt Lancaster as the jeweler, with Olivia Hussey and Ben Cross.

  Review by Eric (bugrom) ★★★½

  I am striving to be a Burt Lancaster completionist, so blindly DVRd this one and was kinda surprised to see it was on the Catholic channel. It turns out this film is based on a play by Pope John Paul II. I am not really sure why Burt is listed as the number one star as he is more just a character who shows up a few times at pivotal moments during the film. This was a solid film touching on building and sustaining relationships in the face of life's hardships.
