    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Montgomery Clift was widely felt to look too old and unhealthy to be an A1 soldier. Although Clift was only 36 during filming, this was the first full film he had made since his near-fatal 1956 car accident (it occurred during filming of Raintree County (1957)), which had drastically altered his appearance. Clift was an alcoholic and a chain smoker, which caused his early death at only 45.
    • Goofs
      Early in the movie, Marlon Brando's character is riding in some sort of staff car. The car is right-hand drive; the Germans did not use right-hand drive. However, the staff car is a French-made Laffly V15T, which is, indeed, right-hand drive and was used by the French Army in WWII. The vehicle was probably captured from the French Army.
    • Quotes
      • Michael Whiteacre: You want me to get shot. Look, I've read all the books. I know that in 10 years we'll be bosom friends with the Germans and the Japanese. Then I'll be pretty annoyed that I was killed.
