Product Description
During the Second World War, over a million American soldiers were stationed in England. Their presence touched the lives of people in even the smallest villages. Yanks is the story of some of the relationships which grew out of the American invasion of a small northern English town during the grim wartime days. It’s a moving story of two similar and yet very different cultures coming together, warily at first but with growing respect and friendship and sometimes, even love.
Yanks delves into the experience of three Americans: Matt (Richard Gere), John (William Devane) and Danny (Chick Vennera) and the relationships they have with three English women: Jean (Lisa Eichhorn), Helen (Vanessa Redgrave) and Mollie (Wendy Morgan). It’s a tale of happiness and heartbreak and hope for the future.

Bought one copy, lent it out, it never came back.
Bought another, my brother who lived in Germany said he could not get it "over there" so he took my copy back to Dortmund with him.
Then I tried to find another for myself - it took months.
I've not been so well and my daughter went on holiday so this copy is for a neighbour who has been watching over me.
The film. A wonderful image of how we were. The shortages of food, the never having new clothes and the hairstyles - did you see any hairgrips. I'll never forget the pints of "mixed" in the jerry (adult potty).
Part of this film was made in Stockport my home town and Stalybridge (see the war memorial) my husband's home town. Loved the scenes on the moors.
They filmed inside and outside St. Mary's Parish Church in the market place of Stockport where my family have been marrying since before 1770 but stopped the camera just short of our wood and glass market hall near by. Shame about that.
Later you can see the market hall with a bombsite next to it, it's made of wood painted white with lots of glass.
Good shots of Stalybridge Station, My friend's mother who lived near the station got her windows and external doors made shabby and then repainted bright again after they had finished filming.
Buy it if you are from the North or you are from abroad and have Stockport in your family tree, the church has a lot of entries on the IGI.
I just love this film.
At this price it is wonderful nostalgia for days gone by.

my mum raves about this film- she loves richard gere and has watched pretty women on loop. This film surrounds the era when the us troops came to the uk in ww2 and our boys went overseas. It makes for tears drama and heartbreak- all a perfect chick flick. The film is shot well and is good value. Richard gere is so young in this and acts well has do the remaining cast. The film is over 2 hours in length- for me too long, but all the females in my family disagree.

Nice Staging Ruined by Weak Script
I remember being disappointed by "Yanks" when it was first released in 1979. Now I have seen it again nearly 35 years later, and my opinion has not changed. Read more

Yanks DVD
This video was exactly what I expected - I had seen it before but wanted a copy because it features a National Trust house - Scotney Castle - which I volunteer in regularly.
