Facts of the film vs book
I don't like that stupid "citation needed" wording, but I had no choice in using the "fact" tag. if there is one more appropriate, I'm all ears. Wikipedia has absolutely too many "deleted" or "deprecated" tags that it makes actually tagging articles nearly impossible... but I digress... :: It appears to me that facts from the book has been slipped into the film's information, which are not actually in the film itself. I very well could be wrong, which is why I did not make any direct changes (yet). If I may, I would like to list the ones I believe we need checking on. If anyone can verify this with written dialog directly from the film, that will settle the matter. A movie is not a book and a book is not a movie. MagnoliaSouth (talk) 16:37, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) "medical receptionist" - If I'm not mistaken she only says she works in surgery. Did we see her at work or something? I cannot recall ever knowing she was a receptionist.
 * 2) "spent much of her childhood in France" - My understanding was that's where she went to college or at the very least was schooled there. I don't remember ever hearing she was a "child" in France.
 * 3) "a no longer inspired painter" - I cannot recall hearing anything about his being an artist. He said he loved his work and women, and said he was an engineer during WWI. As far as I can remember, this was all we heard about him as a person.
 * I watched the film last night (after reading the book) and on first reading of the article I noticed points 1 and 3 straight away. It definitely smells of facts leaking in from the book. Carmody (talk) 13:13, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
 * If you've watched the film, change the wording to fit the film's plot. Lapadite (talk) 18:14, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

Roger Ebert Review
Ebert's original review, you might be able to find on Ebert's website, assuming Ebert's website is still running. The scene towards the end, when Charlotte passes the fake note thru the train wall to her father and the two kids, is harshly criticized in Ebert's review. Ebert basically said this scene made no sense, and did nothing to move the story further. Although conversely, my own opinion was that this scene was brilliant. She wanted the two kids to think their mother sent them a letter, and they would die in the concentration with the comfort of having gotten that letter. Indeed it does give a briliant end to the movie. I think Charlotte comes to a realization, that her participation in the French resistance is going to barely make a dent in the fight against the Nazis. But she comes to a realization that taking care of the two boys was not merely a nuissance to be tolerated; But she comes to realize that was her bigger accomplishment. The fake letter is the final task to a completion of that accomplishment. MS, Dania Fl 206.192.35.125 (talk) 12:55, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

Financial Failure?
How about instead of calling it a financial failure, we call it a Hollywood Distribution failure. This was not a bad movie. I dont work in Hollywood, so I don't know the business environment of Hollywood dealmaking. But this movie could have made its money back, if it wasnt a limited release in the United States. Years ago, the Sherman Anti-Trust Act used to mean something. Industries used to rally against one or a few companies getting all the business. Yet this is what you see in the movie distribution business. You see the Big studios in collusion with the theater chains to swallow up all the available movie-screen show dates. MS.
