- TriviaAccording to a contemporary article in the New York Times, when director David Lean saw this movie at its London premier, he was greatly impressed by the performance of a completely unknown actor, Peter O'Toole, in the supporting role of Capt. Monty Fitch. He called O'Toole and asked him to do a screen-test for the lead in the title role of his epic classic, Lawrence of Arabia (1962), but only after Marlon Brando and Albert Finney either refused or lost the part.
- Quotes
Capt. Monty Fitch: There is nothing wrong with soldiering. You see, I'm never called on to think in my profession. And I'd rather like to. Just once. And then I'd know...
Charles Norgate: Know what?
Capt. Monty Fitch: Whether I stay a soldier because there's nothing else I can do, or because I choose to. I'd probably make a fearful hash of it. Thinking I mean.
