Trivia:

The song played over parts of the end credits (Track #1 on the soundtrack album, "They'll Remember You") uses lyrics from the the Goethe-poem "Wanderers Nachtlied" ("Wanderer's Nightsong"): "Ueber allen Gipfeln / Ist Ruh, / In allen Wipfeln / Spuerest du / Kaum einen Hauch. - Die Voegelein schweigen im Walde./ Warte nur, balde / Ruhest du auch." This translates into Englisch: "Over all the summits / it is calm. / In all the treetops/ you can feel / hardly a breeze - The birds remain silent in the woods. / Just wait, soon / You'll rest as well." The music was composed by John Ottman and performed by Sylke Schwab and the Rundfunkchor Berlin.

Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Tom Cruise's character is speaking with another character, he looks at the portrait of Hitler hanging on the wall and says "At the end of this the portrait will be unhung, and a man will be hung." In reality, a man would be hanged and never hung.

Quotes:

[first lines]
soldiers in unison: I swear by God this sacred oath: That I shall render unconditional obedience to Adolf Hitler, Fuhrer of the German Reich and people, Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, and that I shall at all times be ready, as a brave soldier, to give my life for this oath.

Excellent Historical Drama

It was curious timing to release this film on Christmas Day. As David Letterman quipped on last night's monologue: "Nothing says Holidays like a good Nazi death plot".

Release timing not withstanding, this is a very powerful movie and by all accounts comports with the historical record. There was little embellishment for dramatic effect here. Hitler murder conspiracy dramas are abundant in Hollywood, but this one actually happened and was nearly successful. The story is riveting, and even though the outcome was already known (at least to anyone who had a rudimentary knowledge of WWII), the excitement level was sustained by not really knowing the precise timing of events or, more importantly, who would be spared in the end.

Tom Cruise was very good in the lead role as the chief conspirator (Col. von Stauffenberg). The rest of the cast was first rate, including Tom Wilkinson as Gen'l Fromm, a Nazi head honcho who was playing both sides of the fence, and many other notable actors, such as Kenneth Branagh and Terence Stamp, all excellent.

For fans of "Downfall", the German film documenting Hitler's final week in the bunker (one of the all time great WWII films and #75 on the IMDb top 250), there were two actors from that movie playing in this one. Thomas Kretschmann and Christian Berkel both were key figures in "Downfall" had supporting roles in this film.

For people with an interest in WWII or history in general, this is one film worth checking out.
