- Andrija (Tom Conti) stars as a likeable and good-natured lifeguard at a tranquil Yugoslavian summer resort. It's the last summer of the German occupation, and he has yet to save a life. However the calm is disturbed when a platoon of Nazis set up camp on the opposite bank. Then a young widow (Susan George) and her son ask him for a place to hide from the Germans.

Very Dated and Showed its Age - That Summer of White Roses review by KW
Not the greatest of transfers to DVD, and the disc I has was a rather grainy picture quality. Watchable but at times the plot seemed to being stretched to ensure a 90 minute film. Tom Conti as the central character did his best with a thin script, helped by a series of cameo performances from the likes Rod Steiger, Susan George, Alun Armstrong, plus a continent of Yugoslav actors.
