Hello ralphper. Do you know where you heard or read about a real Capt. Karl Ehrlich? I know the movie was based on a book, but I thought it was fiction. In the book, Ehrlich wants to get back to Germany so he can salvage his derailed Naval career and command a war ship for the Reich. I googled the name, but it just comes up with the character from the movie. It would be interesting to find out the truth.

Are we supposed to be guessing the seventh one
? As gt pointed out, there are only six in the first post.
Was Duke's character in Cast a Giant Shadow, Gen. Mike Randolph, a real life person?

I saw a publicity shot of Duke and Kirk on the set of Cast A Giant Shadow, and the blurb on the back stated that Duke's character was a composite of George Patton and Maxwell Taylor, both of whom played important rolls in Marcus' life. So we now know that Gen. Mike Randolph was not a real life person. Too bad...Duke made him real to us.

Hey Keith, can't you add the movie"I Married A Woman"? He played John Wayne in that one. And John Wayne's a real life person.
