A Soldier's Tale is a 1988 New Zealand romantic war film directed and produced by Larry Parr and starring Gabriel Byrne and Marianne Basler. It is based on a novel by M. K. Joseph.
A Soldier's Tale was first released on 16 June 1988 in New Zealand. It was later released to home video in the United States in 1992.[1]
TV Guide reviewed the film, writing that " An interesting but slight character study, A SOLDIER'S TALE highlights the corrupt morality of wartime."[2] A reviewer for The Missoulian was dismissive, as they felt that it was "a talky bore".[3] John Koch of The Boston Globe called it "well-made, tough-minded and memorable".[4]
