 DATE: Although the story takes place in 1944, all the hair styles  are strictly in the 1970 mode. Hudsons fashionably long hair is  strictly unmilitary, and he even sports 1970 sideburns and a  handlebar moustache; Koscinas big hair is a 1970s trademark; even  the kids look like refugees from the streets of the era in which the  film was made, not at all like World War II orphans.
