Goofs:
Factual errors: The uniform of the American General Hallerton is incorrect. He is wearing a black tie (phased out in favor of the 'pink' tie and shirt in 1942); also his shoulder sleeve insignia denoting European Theater is sewn on upside down.

Quotes:
Emily Barham:
I believe in honor, service, courage, and fair play, and cricket, and all the other symbols of British character. Which have only civilized half the world!
Lt. Cmdr. Charles E. Madison: You British plundered half the world for your own profit, let's not pass it off as the age of enlightenment.

This is one of my favorite films of all time. Garner and Andrews are tremendous. Coburn adds the perfect finishing touch to an ensemble cast. Touchingly romantic and funny. Garner delivers a very powerful monologue in the middle of the film that adds perspective not often seen in the WWII genre.
