    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      George Lucas has stated that the two main characters, Roger and Penny Henderson, are actually the parents of Richard Dreyfuss' character Curt Henderson from American Graffiti (1973); making this film a bit of a semi-prequel.
    • Goofs
      The portrait in Gen. Whalen's office shows the general wearing a service dress green uniform which was not adopted by the U.S. Army until the mid-1950s. In 1939, when the movie is set, the general would have worn a khaki uniform.
    • Quotes

      Penny Henderson: I told Dexter not to smoke. If you ask me, they oughta put warning labels on those packages.

    crazy credits - musical variations on a theme

    The (normally) Jazz number "And The Angels Sing" behind the ending credits works its way through half a dozen musical styles, including a wildly improbable Western Swing.

    Be sure to listen to the end.
