  • Whose voice is it that is so tranquille?

  • @mrdurdenx Liv Ullmann. She acts in the film as well - she plays the Dutch mother (although she's Norwegian IRL) whose mansion becomes a British field hospital.

  • this theme is what i'll play the first time i take off if i ever get to learn how to fly a plane

  • the fact that the academy awards totally ignored this movie is beyond me.

  • @pob3000tb "patton and Montgomery were both overated" Can you please give your reasons for this statement?

  • @HenryvKeiper Interestingly enough, she was born in Japan, which was Germany's ally in the war.

  • My favourite war film. I always remembered the narration finishing with "... and bring the boys back home... " {que epic music}.

    The first air drop in this movie is also fantastic. The sheer drama of what these men are doing is breathtaking, and to me very moving - none of them *had* to do what they did: none of the English-speaking nations were obliged to help out Western Europe, but they did none the less. Real heroes.

  • @RattytheSecond That's pretty cool :)

  • @HenryvKeiper Correct, known to his troops in the 14th Army as "Uncle Bill"; a soldier's soldier. My father as a 19 year old Lieutenant said he'd come to inspect troops still tucking his shirt into his trousers! His men loved him and trusted him.
