My favorite anti-war movie has always been "Two Women"...

When Anna Magnani bailed, Sophia Loren got the part of the mother, and an Oscar. Showed the world she could act after being cast in Italian sexpot roles.

But that's not here or there. The story was partly a love story, with the end of WW2 as a backdrop.

But what a hell of a backdrop it was. I first saw it when we were wallowing in Nam, and seeing Ukraine it's all I can think of.

That works for me. Looks like it’s included with Amazon Prime for anyone who has that service.

Produced when talking movies (!) first came out... The last scene is heart breaking...
So many good anti war movies to see and for me it bangs home the saying:
“Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it.”..
