    • Trivia
      The producers considered replacing seventy-year-old Robert Mitchum with fifty-nine-year-old James Coburn, due to concerns that Mitchum was too old and ill to reprise the role of Victor "Pug" Henry.
    • Goofs
      General Arnim von Roon's rank changes up and down throughout the mini-series. In June 1942, the narrator announces him as Major General von Roon. In later episodes in 1944 and 1945 he is demoted to the rank of Brigadier General. No German generals were ever demoted, even when falling out of favor with Hitler.
    • Quotes

      Capt. Victor 'Pug' Henry: [translates for Pamela his Russian comment] I just told him that we were good friends - that's all.

      Gen. Yevlenko: You are in Moscow dear lady because HE got you a visa. Henry... nebu durakom.

      [Laughs uproariously]

      Gen. Yevlenko: . Nebu durakom! NEBU DURAKOM!

      [exits]

      Pamela Tudsbury: "Nebu durakom..." Don't be... what? What's "durakom"?

      Capt. Victor 'Pug' Henry: "Damned fool".

    perhaps the greatest miniseries ever
    I actually saw this film not that long ago on History Channel, after seeing the entire Winds of War on network TV when I was down with a back injury years ago. Networks no longer make these sweeping miniseries. In one way, it's good, because so much of the time is spent on inconsequential scenes just to fill time. On the other hand, it's a shame. This particular miniseries brought the horrors of what the Jews suffered in World War II right into your living room, and it was pretty harrowing. Watching it on History Channel was an education, as historians discussed the movie during the break. They agreed that War and Remembrance was incredibly accurate in its depiction of the war.

    Of course, having John Gielgud in the cast didn't hurt! He was absolutely marvelous. I can only say that the entire story arc concerning Gielgud and his family was remarkable. The scene where Natalie eats the apple brought to the cattle cars by the Christians was incredible, as was the entire cattle car saga. The concentration camp scenes, the depiction of the commandant and his family, the entire cover-up aided and abetted by the Red Cross, Natalie's will to survive and be reunited with her son -- they are etched in my heart and will stay there forever.

    I heartily recommend this miniseries. Look for it on History Channel to get the commentary. This was superior work by Dan Curtis.

    FAQ1

    • I just watched this. I didn't think they could show the nudity from the concentration camps on network television. Apparently this aired on ABC. How did they get this past the censors?
