Quiz
Charlton Heston spent up to five hours a day at rehearsals conducting Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 in C-, Op. 67, Allegro con brio, the music performed over the opening credits. In his diaries, Heston describes it as better than parting the Red Sea.

Blooper
Lionel Evans refers to the number of musicians in his orchestra as 70---the bus, although a double-decker, would not hold that many. In courtyard scenes, there are not that many seen.

Citazioni
Evans: Prostitution isn't the only profession ruined by amateurs.

War of wills between 2 Prima Donnas, a conductor and a Nazi General

Let me qualify those 7 stars. You have to like Heston, Schell, WWII movies, and classical music in order to appreciate this movie. Heston is the conductor of an orchestra that is caught behind German lines during the Battle of the Bulge. Schell is a Prussian style educated yet cultured officer who is caught between his appreciation for culture and his orders not to delay the battle by wasting time on taking prisoners. The orchestra is USO. A side conflict is provided by the orchestra taking in 2 GIs who are also cut off behind enemy lines and hiding them as members of the orchestra. This is a war, "small w", movie. I remember a lot of grimacing from Heston and Schell, but that is what they do! Look beyond the cardboard characters and you may find a good little picture about a protagonist and an antagonist playing chess without a board.
