In summer 2014, Bernard Jordan made global headlines when he staged a "great escape" from his care home to join fellow veterans on a beach in Normandy for the D-Day Landings seventieth anniversary. It was a story that captured the imagination of the world. But of course, it wasn't the whole story. Bernie's adventure, spanning a mere forty-eight hours, also marked the culmination of his sixty-year marriage to his beloved wife Rene. Starring Oscar-winning legends Michael Caine and the late Glenda Jackson, the deeply moving, funny, accessible love story celebrates their enduring love but always with an eye to the lessons we might learn from the Greatest Generation.
