When a fisherman leaves to fight with the Greek army during World War II, his fiancée falls in love with the local Italian commander.
Editor's Verdict
"Captain Corelli's Mandolin is a historical war/romance drama centered on the WWII Italian occupation of Cephallonia. There is no indication that the story is set during the Christmas season or that Christmas themes, plot points, or iconography play any role in the narrative of betrayal, love, and war. It fails to meet any criteria for Christmas movie classification."
