As far as this film goes, I like it alot and it's in my top 20 favorite war movies. Great cast and great interaction with the characters. From the first time I saw this movie till recently, I have seen this one at least 30 times over the years and still never tire of it.
I noticed that the Duke also had stubble in this film as it was mentioned elsewhere that the only movie he had hair on his face in was in: Back To Bataan.
