Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJohn Schlesinger originally delivered the film at a length of around 165 minutes. He was forced to cut the film by approximately 25 minutes before the film's premiere engagement. The film stayed at this length and the 165-minute director's cut has never been seen. Among the victims of the cuts was Bill Nighy, whose character Tom was deleted.
- GoofsIn the restaurant with the slot machine, her Coke bottle has a painted 'CocaCola' painted on the bottle. That bottle was introduced in 1957. Before that it was only molded in the glass.
- Crazy creditsThe names in the opening credits are divided into two categories: The Americans and The British.

Featured review
Was sad to see the passing of Tony Melody this summer. He was such a good yet under sung character actor. His performance in Yanks was excellent and the mischievous smile he cracked when he said there would be 'no danger' of the bottle of whisky remaining unopened was brilliant as oppose to his wife's refusal to eat the cake that Geres character had prepared.
I wonder if the picture of his character he showed Gere when he was talking about his war service was actually his real father as he had served in the Guards during the first world war - just a thought.
Lisa Eichorn had me fooled for many a year - that Lancashire accent is spot on.
