- TriviaAmongst the names called out in the roll call scene when Captain Long returns from Benucci's office is 'Verity'. Yorkshire and England cricketer Hedley Verity, who served as a captain in the Green Howards, was captured in Italy and died there while he was a POW. It's a sufficiently unusual surname to be more than coincidence.
- ErroresIn the final scene, when Capitano Benucci realized an escape is happening, he is seen running around the camp with his pistol in his hand. The pistol is an automatic, but when he shoots the "traitor" hidden behind the blanket, the closeup shows a revolver.
- Citas
Lt. Col. Huxley: [the prisoners are discussing the corpse of a man discovered in an escape tunnel] Obviously we must report this to the Italians at once.
Lt. Col. David Baird, M.C.: Report it, aye, but do you have to tell them where you found him?
Lt. Col. Huxley: Yes, of course we do. Their doctors will prove he died under a fall of sand. That means only one thing - a tunnel.
Lt. Col. David Baird, M.C.: Well just for the record, if you tell 'em the truth, you'll be making them a present of the only tunnel in this camp with a real chance.
Lt. Col. Huxley: What alternative do you suggest?
Lt. Col. David Baird, M.C.: Put him in another tunnel. An abandoned one. And then report it.
Lt. Col. Huxley: You mean fake a fall in another tunnel?
Lt. Col. David Baird, M.C.: Well, it happens easily enough by accident. It shouldn't be difficult to do it on purpose.
Lt. Col. Huxley: That might not be the end of the matter, you realise that?
Lt. Col. David Baird, M.C.: Well I'm still for it, sir.
Lt. Col. Huxley: Alright. Who'll do it?
Capt. Roger Byfold: I will, sir.
Lt. Col. Huxley: Well, the less I know about it, the better. And, just as a matter of interest, might I be allowed to know where this abandoned tunnel starts?
[Baird looks at the floor below Huxley's feet, indicating that Huxley is standing on it]
