Yanks

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. Its 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). Its a tale of happiness and heartbreak and hope for the future.
