Relying on good casting to pull together a relatively minor humanitarian effort to save children (mostly Jewish) from the onrush of Nazi persecution in Czechoslovakia doesn't make for a BIG movie; perhaps the best takeaway being that bureaucratic obstructionism always raises its ugly head when people are trying to do something humanitarian and worthwhile.
So that's very appropriate for these troubled times.
And there's always regret that more wasn't done...
No accident I think that the movers and shakers who do achieve humanitarian things are often the "outsiders".
Perhaps the script needed more interaction with those Czech families... And a touch more anger!
