It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time / Wake Me Up When the War is Over

In It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time (1975), Sweeney, a divorced man, is willing to do anything, even kidnapping, to win back his wife. He stands a fair chance as the ex-mates continue to sleep together, despite the fact that she's remarried. In Wake Me Up When the War is Over (1969), during the latter days of WW2 an American Lieutenant accidentally falls out of an airplane that he was on and falls into German territory. He is taken in by a Baroness. She is taken with him and doesn't want him to leave, so she doesn't tell him that the war has ended.
