The radio reporter refers to Tower Bridge as one of London's oldest landmarks - in fact, it was barely 65 years between its opening and the film's release. The Tower of London is close by - approximately 850 years older, but much less spectacular to destroy. See more »Quotes
Radio Reporter: Picadilly. The heart of London. Words can't describe it. There's been nothing like it, not even the worst of the Blitz! This section is complete shambles. People running, mad with fear.See more »
