Don't be put off by the reviews

Warning: Spoilers
I ready some pretty poor reviews for this film.This was mainly because the reviewers think it didn't match up to the famous novel.I have not ready the book so unlike the reviewers came to this film without preconceived notions.I found it surprisingly god.Despite the rather strange convention of Germans speaking German to their countrymen but English elsewhere.despite the "good" Nazi officer falling for the Frech woman in his house.He delivers the coup de grace to the Mayor of the town but he is better than the others since he plays the piano and lets his lover go off to Paris notwithstanding the fact that she has shot a German sentry.I felt it faithfully replicated the period and stood on its own as a entertaining film.So ignore the dilly reviews.
