    • Trivia
      The uniforms and equipment the U.S. paratroopers wear in the film are fairly realistic for the D-Day period, including the white "card suit" markings the 101st Airborne Division used on the sides of their helmets to identify sub-units in the Division. The paratrooper's helmets in the film carry the heart suit of the 502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment.
    • Goofs
      The beginning of the movie with the opening credits shows paratroopers jumping from C-119 Flying Boxcar transport aircraft. The first C-119 made its initial flight in November 1947, over 3 years after the period the movie depicts, (June 1944)

    Whoa, so bad
    As a movie, as a story, this flops. Such a terribly performed and written movie. It's as though someone woke up, said, "hey, let's do a tribute for D-Day, we will feature a unit from the 101st, and who do we have hanging around the studio?" Then, a secretary walks out the door, finds a few folks loafing about and points out, "You, you, you, and you all. Wanna make a movie? Here's your lines, now go do it." And, in one day it was done. Oh, let's add some WW2 footage to the stock, backlot scenery for realism. Just a poorly done movie in all regards. The whole Tom Tyron chomping on a cigar is right out of a comic book.
