Trivia
As of 2018, the whole main cast has already passed away. See more »Goofs
The RAF bomber Terry-Thomas and crew are flying is mostly a B-17 Flying Fortress. This is highly unlikely, as the RAF mainly flew Lancasters, Halifaxes and, earlier on, Stirlings. See more »Quotes

Alternate Versions
The original German release had several parts of the French original cut. Some of them might have been taken out because some gags could not be used because of the different languages used in the original (French, German and English). There is for example the quite funny scene when Claudio Brook reveals himself as an English man on the train when he says "I'm sorry" when spilling some vine. The German version instead just shows the angry German officer who commands to arrest the English soldier. Some parts are cut without any obvious reason - e.g. a humorous dialogue of de Funés and Bourvil, their escape and chase in German uniforms. The German version just comes into the scene when they are already arrested. See more »Frequently Asked Questions

This was a hilarious movie, I'd imagine even for people who don't speak French. Louis de Funes was great, and the whole movies if definitely one I'm going to see again, just for the sheer fun of it! Bottom line: hilarious, 8/10
