    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      O'Toole ends his coerced radio broadcast with the phrase, "Tell it to the Marines." In the English usage of that day, the retort "Tell it to the Marines" meant, "Everything you just said is total bull, and cannot be believed for one minute." So by ending the speech that way, he was telling his American listeners that everything he had just said in the broadcast was untrue. Presumably his Nazi captors did not get the nuance, but the moviegoing audience would have.
    • Goofs
      Famous footage of Adolf Hitler visiting Paris is shown. Following this, many scenes (and many days) occur before the Baron is called in to see Hitler, yet it is well-recorded that Hitler's visit to the city lasted only 3 hours.
    • Quotes
      • Katie O'Hara Von Luber, aka Katherine Butt-Smith: Life is what you make it. Life can be bright and beautiful, sunshine and daffodils. I agree with Browning. Robert Browning.
      • Patrick 'Pat' O'Toole: Oh, thank you.
      • Katie O'Hara Von Luber, aka Katherine Butt-Smith: "The lark's on the wing. The snail's on the thorn. God's in His heaven. All's right with the world."
      • Patrick 'Pat' O'Toole: Well, that is a truly remarkable bit of philosophy, Baroness. Coming at a time like this when the whole world's going behind a cloud.
      • Katie O'Hara Von Luber, aka Katherine Butt-Smith: Ah, you're just cynical. You've probably been reading Schopenhauer. He's a very cynical man. Very sad man.
      • Patrick 'Pat' O'Toole: Very cynical. You know, I don't have to read Schopenhauer to know that the whole human race is messing it up. Its just like you, Baroness. You messed it up something awful.
      • Katie O'Hara Von Luber, aka Katherine Butt-Smith: I think not. I believe: This above all, to thine own self, be true. And it must follow, the night, the day. Thou canst not then be false to any man. Shakespeare.
      • Patrick 'Pat' O'Toole: Yeah, well, that's more like it. Now we're getting somewhere. Hold still a moment, listen to this: Don't wait too long building castles in the sky. Or, while you're waiting, time will fly. Love songs are best when they're sung - in the Springtime, when everything's young. So, don't wait too long - or happiness may pass you by. Irving Berlin.
