'Dresden's setting is great, very authentic, and historically correct: my true congratulations for the fine results of director Richter's painstaking research.
Unfortunately this foundation carries a less happy choice of leading actor & actress. John Light surely acts a competent RAF bomber-pilot, but does not convince as a love match for a girl like Felicitas Woll. Their characters just do not match.
Apart form that, one cannot escape wondering if Felicitas Woll is the right girl for a film like this. In my opinion her talents are much better suited for light comedy or slapstick.
