Trivia
The monks in the fifth episode were authentic Franciscan monks from the Maiori convent, near Salerno.

Errores
At approximately 1:36 (2:05 version), during Episode V, as the American Army Catholic Chaplain stands in the center of the screen discussing his two associate Army Chaplains (Protestant and Jewish) with the monks, you can see two individuals standing in the doorway behind them (they appear to be the other two Army Chaplains). In less than a minute, they suddenly disappear.

Citas
Captain Bill Martin - the catholic chaplain (episode V: Appennino Emiliano): I've never examined their consciences. I've never discussed this with them. I've never asked them anything, because I never felt I could judge them. I know them too well. They're good friends. Perhaps you, here mind this peace, this atmosphere of serene meditation, consider me guilty. I don't feel guilty. My conscience is clear.

A Fine Dramatic Representation of American Liberation in Italy

This film was well done for what Rosselini had. Although I was never a fan of many of these films done with left-over soldiers and bad actors to show what real-life people were like, "Paisan" definitely shows the unity of people joined in a cause. Each episode of the American progress north through Italy the American/Italian relationship become a little more united. Until, finally, in the Po River Valley, the Americans and the Italians are almost indistinguishable from one another. It conveys a good message through a good medium.

The on-location shooting was a plus, too. For people who have been to Firenze, Napoli, Sicilia, Roma, or any of the locations in this film, it is a stunning sight to see places you know crawling with Nazis and Allies struggling. It endows the movie with a sense of realism that it needs badly. It needs this realism because the acting is horrendous. Of course, the unskilled acting was supposed to convey more realism, but I think it detracts in actuality.

If you are interested in history or Italy during the World War, see this film. It is a good representation of what life was like then, but beware that not everything could be represented ... so it is not all-inclusive. It is a long film, but anyone with an interest will enjoy it immensely, I think.
