Saw "My Boy Jack" on PBS last night... an excellent, although very sad, film about Jack Kipling who died at the battle of Loos in WWI.
I have given my opinion before on a film or two, and they have pretty much universally not liked too well.
But this one is different, I promise..Daniel Radcliffe is excellent as Jack Kipling, the 18 year old officer who sufferered with profound myopia, and really should not have been serving in the front lines going over the top. The father (Rudyard) and mother/ sister interplay are superbly done.
I'm sure the English side of the pond has seen this excellent story already, since it is Masterpiece Theatre; so if you Yanks come across it on an American station, don't miss it.
The after film discussion with the principles is worth a listen, also.

Thanks Phil,
Gonna pick him up on the www I'm having always interest in WW1 movie's
