Anecdotes
The soldiers frequently refer to being shelled by "English 88s". Although the German 88mm gun is famous, this is not an error. The British 25-pounder field gun fired an 88mm calibre shell, and the Italians would of course follow their practice of referring to calibre rather than the British practice of referring to the weight of the shell.

Gaffes
The car wreck where the sniper was hiding is clearly a post WWII Land Rover (a series-II or III build after 1958)

Great little war film on a BIG subject

Given its small budget, this is a fine little film about Italian troops abandoned in the face of the British counter attack at El Alamein in late 1942.

More films and books need to be made about this sad chapter in the history of Italy, whose international military reputation is somewhat lower than that of the French.

Italian troops gave no less to their cause than did Germans or the British, the Russians, the Americans, and the Japanese. But because of poor leadership from Mussolini on down, they were forced to surrender in droves, and as much as we don't want to admit it, we Westerners hold those who surrender in pretty low esteem.

This film goes a long way toward correcting the historical record through its touching story, beautiful acting, wonderful art direction, and absolutely stunning cinematography.
