Goofs:

Factual errors: Takeoff scenes with glider being towed shows a proper Brit Lancaster towing the proper Brit glider. In-air scenes are of the glider being towed by Yank Dakota C-47. And they are instructed to "take a new heading of southeast at 279 degrees." 279 degrees is the reciprocal of southeast and is actually the direction of north northwest.

Quotes:

Cpl Ives: I know your face. North Africa, Royal Engineers, Black Watch. Horrible time it was. You get sand in places you never knew you had.

Good film to see

We all like movies, my family that is, and after some discussions decided to settle down Saturday night with this one. My wife is not really a war movie fan but she enjoyed this as much as the rest of us.The script was witty and the special effects were quite good. The seemed to be a lot of well known actors in this film, it reminded me of a more modern version of "The Wild Geese" where so many of those actors went on to really develop their careers. I personally liked the story of the heist set when the war seemed to be at a deciding point with the Allied forces advancing across Europe. Cinematography was very good and the director should be complimented. The action sequences were well done and reasonably realistic. Yes I would recommend this movie for a nice evenings enertainment with the family.
