Michael Caine's final film[edit]

Fixed the text that said it was Michael Caine's final film during his lifetime. He's (at least at the time I write this) very much alive and kicking. It was the late great Glenda Jackson's final film during her lifetime. 2404:440E:2A33:6A00:E453:7060:FA48:F0C8 (talk) 02:36, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How accurate is it?[edit]

Obviously, Bernard "escaped" and travelled to France, along with the accompanying media frenzy on the way back, but did he meet an alcoholic airman and German soldiers? 90.243.101.191 (talk) 22:15, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I very much doubt it. And presumably all the dialogue between the two leads had to be imagined as well. But it's a much better film that it would have been if it had stuck rigidly to the known facts. JH (talk page) 17:30, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Cast[edit]

I wanted to add the name of the actor who plays Douglas to the cast list, as it's an important role. But even IMDb doesn't give it. JH (talk page) 17:34, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
