An extraordinary true story showing ordinary people facing and overcoming extraordinary challenges. Themes include: the effects of war, love, loss, family, friendship, ambition, prejudice, forgivesss, hope and triumph - masterfully presented.

Great story. Well told. Although long you get so involved in all the characters. Seemed pretty close to the real story. Inspiring guy and well played.

Perfectly paced and difficult issues handled in the way! Happiness, sadness laughs and excitement it truly had it all. A truly inspirational film about an inspirational man!

Not knowing anything about this movie we had no idea what the film was going to be like. It was great! The characters, the subject, the love, the hate, the loss. Very well acted, a great (true) story. Can't recommend this film highly enough and, as some other reviewer has already said, "The Keeper" really should be more widely publicised. Watch this!

Interesting film that I missed on its cinema release. I know of the ex-professional footballer, Bert Trautmann and some of his well publicised exploits. However the trouble with these biopics is you don't know fully what is true or added for artistic purposes. The film begins with Trautmann in a German Prisoner of War camp in East Lancashire, U.K. It is interesting seeing a P.O.W. film from a German perspective! Films like The Great Escape and Escape To Victory it ain't! The stadium scenes such as the old, old Wembley stadium are cleverly staged using CGI. Has some good U.K. casting including Maggie Smith. The cast is fully Anglo-German. Like Trautmanns career! A film that seems to have slipped between the goalposts, pardon the pun. Very good viewing.

Anglo-German production, TV-movie(ish); two-dimensional fare. But the amazing story and a dollop of charm, makes this a hell of a lot better than it should be. This is a straightforward historical romance. But it's well played by Kross as Trautmann, and Mavor as his wife Margaret. And Henshaw gives a typically excellent performance as plain-speaking, Northern dad. It should be terrible, but it's a really watchable film, and a very good football film to boot. The CGI recreation of 1950's football stadiums is amazing. It takes dramatic licence, but still brings home the Cup.
