Wissenswertes
In this film, comedian Eddie Izzard plays a male English soldier who cross-dresses. A few years earlier, in Eddie Izzard: Dress to Kill (1998), Izzard had discussed being a transvestite in the British Armed Services, suggesting: "The main element of attack is the element of surprise. So what could be more surprising than the first battalion transvestite brigade?"

Patzer
Nicolette Krebitz tells Matt LeBlanc that she got him a long-sleeved dress because "German women don't shave their underarms" (and Matt had shaved). However, she introduces Matt as an Italian, not a German.

Zitate
Franz: [hugging Tony on bed] I learned to adapt. I even have sex with women.
Tony Parker: Women? How many women?
Franz: 10 or 12.
Tony Parker: [stops hugging] 10 or 12?
Franz: I had to make it convincing. It's been seven years.
Tony Parker: Eight is convincing, 12 is enjoying it.
Franz: I was thinking of you every time.
Tony Parker: Oh, yes, how did you ever stop from shouting my name?

Quite a surprise

After all the bashing it received elsewhere, I'd like to join the majority here saying this is a vastly underrated flick. It's a WW-II-comedy in "Some-like-it-hot-"drag, tinted by a touch of tragedy.

Though LeBlanc is not that convincing, the self-finding of the young decoder and the love story of Eddie Izzard are deeply emotional and worthwhile throughout. Beautiful Krebitz' character is one of the witty girls often found in war-times Germany, though her banter is toned down in speed to let even Austrians understand the meaning of her lines.

Great cast, good story with only minor plot holes (yes, you should watch it till it's over) and some really funny gags. Good blend of war drama and comedy.
