The Little Riders (1996)
Nice Movie About Holland in WW2
Very well acted - very good actors. Enjoyable movie.
Malcolm McDowell & Paul Scofield movies always worth watching to catch them.
Violence is alluded to - not shown; suitable film for young children - which is what the book was intended for when written.
SPOILER ALERT - when the movie gets toward the time when the SS want the Little Riders for melting down to bullets, the date on the screen states it is MAY 1945. Holland was liberated May 5, 1945 - the war ended May 7th - Hitler was dead April 30th. Germany had no infrastructure to move anything from Holland to Germany to be melted down as bullets in May 1945.
Major goof on part of the filmmakers. I have not read the book, so unknown if the gaff was taken directly from the book or by the filmmakers.
