Anecdotes
One of the few films in Oscar® history to be a nominee in two separate non-consecutive years. It was a foreign film nominee for 1966 and then a nominee for screenplay and direction for 1968.

Gaffes
In the final scenes, showing the mass street protests, the French police are backed up by armored vehicles that are Soviet-made SU-100 tank destroyers. These were part of the Algerian military when the film was made in 1966 after independence, but would not have been present or used by the French at any time.

Citations
Ben M'Hidi: It's hard to start a revolution. Even harder to continue it. And hardest of all to win it. But, it's only afterwards, when we have won, that the true difficulties begin. In short, Ali, there's still much to do.

Générique farfelu
The credits for the French release, which are used for contemporary versions of the film, differ from the credits in the original Italian release. In the original credits, Brahim Hadjadj is below Jean Martin and Yacef Saadi, Tommaso Neri is billed as one of the leads, Franco Moruzzi is credited, and Samia Kerbash is given the surname "Michele". The French release gives Hadjadj top billing, removes Neri and Moruzzi from the credits, and refers to Kerbash by her correct surname.

the two hours go fast

Although most of Gillo Portecorvo's films are usually documentaries and in this fantastic one it is clearly reconstructed and with the grainy newsreel looks as if it is real. The two hours go fast and because the story is so well told that we watch the amazing streets and alleys and steps of the wretched white buildings and the Casbah. There is also the rather brutal French occupiers and their torture methods. The Italian style we know as neorealist and it works so well that we think that even of the thousands of people we can hardly imagine it was not really we have actual seen in the streets. It is all so terrible that we begin that maybe the bombings and shootings by the Muslims have our sympathies and we certain have the wonderful music of Morricone.
