Notes
Trivia: One of the very first World War II films made by an American studio in which the members of each country spoke nearly all their dialogue in the language of that country: the Germans spoke German, the French spoke French, and the Americans and Britishers spoke English. There were subtitles on the bottom of the screen to translate the various languages. (more) Goofs: Factual errors: After the paratrooper clears the bird house he uses his cricket to check out the bushes. The German replies with two shots, however he is using a Mauser K98 bolt action rifle. In reality he could only shoot one bullet at a time. (more)
Quotes: Destroyer Commander: You remember it. Remember every bit of it, 'cause we are on the eve of a day that people are going to talk about long after we are dead and gone. (more)
Awards: Won 2 Oscars. Another 5 wins & 6 nominations (more)
