In this episode of Rosie the Reviewer, we discuss From Here to Eternity (1953), based on James Jones's novel about the peacetime US Army stationed in Hawaii in the months leading up to Pearl Harbor. 
We also dig into the women of wartime Hawaii who were doing a lot more than waiting around, from the Women's Air Raid Defense tracking aircraft around the clock to OSS recruit Elizabeth McIntosh, who taught herself Japanese and ended up producing propaganda in India.

In this episode of Rosie the Reviewer, we discuss The Longest Day (1962), the docudrama based on Cornelius Ryan's nonfiction book about the Allied landings at Normandy on 6 June 1944. We go through the mega ensemble cast, stuff we liked and can’t get over how good Cornelius Ryan is at character driven narratives.
We also get into: the star-studded cast, the lack of blood, some movie trivia and the Plus: Canadia mention.

In this episode of Rosie the Reviewer, we discuss The King's Speech (2010), the biopic about King George VI and his unlikely friendship with Australian speech therapist Lionel Logue. We get into what the film gets right and where it takes some liberties... look, Edward VIII was a lot more pro-Nazi than the movie suggests. Also: how the Second World War ended up being the best thing that could have happened for the British monarchy's reputation.
