Filmed in Yugoslavia as was. So lots of extras and most of the vehicles are real apart from the Tigers which were smaller T-34's made to like them.

A film that makes a lot more sense when you realise it's about the Vietnam war. Just like Mash and to a lesser extent Catch-22 or the Dirty Dozen.

That's a cracking film - manages to be very different from the original while maintaining the feel and spirit of it

A Night to Remember 1958 B&W
Compare this to the 1997 Titanic blockbuster. This is way more historically accurate and the characters don't have contemporary values.
