Filmed in 1968 in former Czechoslowakia, on the Vltava river. There´s a urban legend saying that the real purpose of coming there to film the movie was to find, dig out and safely take abroad the Nazi´s treasure of Stechovice (reputedly hidden at 1945 by german high rank officers not far from there)

I love the soundtrack, it is like the blend of a fine European waltz tune with an American western theme, and it fits perfectly.

Fortunately it is not the usual propaganda shit, but a little bit more realistic, roughly historical correct and does not degenerate in the somekind obligatory glorification of the Americans.
Just one thing: If they produce such films one could expect that they are able to utter the name of the city correctly ;D

If only m24 Chafee tanks were on Company of Heroes!

Our Communist party gave americans leave to make this movie in CZ because of a great deal of american dollars. No hate, no fight agains capitalism, no prejudices against american slavers. Thats funny

@828centrum re right eng....what the shame, this film was a pretext for the soviet military occupation of Czechoslovakia
-
2nd most underrated war film ever, behind the eagle has landed, in my opinion.
-
The tanks are m24 chaffees accurate armour for the films setting
-
At 1:01, an American T-34?!
-
The actual reason was that West Germany wouldn't allow the company to film at Remagen because of heavy shipping on the Rhine River but it wouldn't shock me if the urban legend maybe true if the treasure still has yet to be found

@828centrum Great Story!

One of the best war movies of the 60's. I've got this on DVD. Also have a DVD with both "Kelly's Heroes" and "The Dirty Dozen:, a great two-fer.
You can tell that the filmmakers are trying to feed off of the success of the Great Escape by having both movies scored by Elmer Bernstein...

I'm ashamed to admit it, but I've never seen The Great Escape. But I did see Remagen...and I was impressed with its gritty depiction of war. The 'good guys' are cynical and bitter, and the 'bad guys' suffer too. There's surprisingly little music during the film - I felt that emphasised the film's realism.
