I have seen yanks a number of times now over a period of years. I wrote because I cant believe it gets 6.4 and I have given it an 8. John Scleissenger and Colin Welland do a great job on this film, trying to create a period peace that captures the time. Its also a beautiful love story with Lisa Eichman and Richard Gere at the centre of it, the chemistry and love story between them is there from the minute they step on screen together, and Lisa's family and background it also really well played. its a long film but I don't find it long and it tries to show all that was going on in England from 1943-44 when America entered the war, and times were so difficult and dangerous, a fitting tribute to those who lived through those times

Those of us who have seen some of the more recent wartime romance movies (e.g., Pearl Harbor) will be eternally grateful for this well-done picture with its ensemble cast. I liked it so much that I bought a copy on DVD. This was the first time that I had seen William Devane and Lisa Eichorn in a movie, and I believe their performances were excellent. When William Devane, as the Captain, busts the NCOs for their conduct, it was the height of wartime realism at a human level. I loved the little nuances ... the mother wrapping the string around her hand after she receives the gift of a cake from Richard Gere ... the little boy and the bicycle ... the steam rising up around the train at the end ... excellent touches ...

Director John Schlesinger gets it right in this war drama - from the casting to the costumes to the smallest detail. It is all lovingly presented in this thoughtful and interesting movie. The relationship between Devane and Redgrave was the most realistically portrayed. Richard Gere doesn't act so much as sulk but since there are other people in the movie it doesn't matter that much. Very worthwhile - you might even re-cast the movie, in your head, as if it were made in 1945. I'm thinking Greer Garson...Angela Lansbury...John Hodiak, etc.

My children were just babies when I saw this movie at the theater in 1979. I really loved it and have all these years. I guess the romance and the finality of goodbyes, not knowing what could happen made it all the more intense. The racism scene was hard to watch, very hard. I am sure things like that went on though. It is a treasure in my huge movie collection. I hope someday to visit England and be able to see some of the towns that were in this movie.Richard Gere is a wonderful Actor and this was the very first time I had heard about him or had ever seen him in a movie.He brought a realism to this part, he was a perfect guy to play an American soldier! Talking about it has made me want to look at it tonight!!

Made in 1979, YANKS is a throwback to the love stories of the 1940s. Directed by John Schlesinger, YANKS is a timeless tale of war-time romances. Starring Richard Gere as Matt, a U.S. Army Sargent, looking for a friend and finding true-love with the threat of the invasion of Europe looming ahead. Gere is in his prime element here, a hero's hero. A rugged, yet gentle soul, seeking his place in life. It stands out as one of his most outstanding screen performances. Lisa Eichhorn as his love interest, plays it low-key, catching the innocence of the 1940s. An out-standing supporting cast by William DeVane, Vanessa Redgrave, Chick Vennera, and Rachel Roberts, makes YANKS a must-see film. Outstanding!

That's what the local British people thought of the American troops stationed in the North of England during War World II: They are over paid, over sexed and over here. Divided by a common language and a very different view of the world. John Schlesinger is a director I adore - Midnight Cowboy, Darling, Sunday Bloody Sunday, just to mention three titles. The actors in a Schlesinger film, from Alan Bates to Dustin Hoffman to Peter Finch are at their best but never as compellingly than Richard Gere in Yanks. A performance of such beauty that one wonders why we haven't seen more of this Richard Gere. Enthralling, romantic and truthful, profoundly so. Lisa Eichhorn is also a stand out. Her English rose (Lisa Eichhorn is an American) is a throwback to the best English actresses of the 1940's. Vanessa Redgrave and Rachel Roberts also provide a unique glimpse into the Britishness of the story. Loved it, loved it, loved it.
