    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Filmed on the same sets used for the Welsh mining village in Vihreä oli laaksoni (1941).
    • Goofs
      Most of the German soldiers are wearing WWI-style Stahlhelm helmets, not the WWII version used from 1935 on. Also, paratroopers (Fallschirmjagers) are shown, but none of the German troops are wearing their helmet - without the projecting visor and flared rim.
    • Quotes

      Lt. Tonder: Last night I dreamed that Hitler was crazy!

    • Crazy credits
      Opening credits are shown with a hand gesturing to a map of Norway, indicating what is about to take place in the film.
    • Soundtracks
      A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
      Traditional Christian hymn
      Music by Martin Luther

    9/10
    A very convincing cinematographic adaptation of John Steinbeck's gem
    A very convincing cinematographic adaptation of John Steinbeck's gem and a very moving story of courage and the idea of peace (filmed during the Second World War, which gives it even more meaning).
