PICTURE, QUOTE, MOVIE QUIZ #74


1.  What movie is the picture from?

2.  What movie is this quote from?

Now I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country. 


3.  What movie is this? 

  The movie fits into the sub-genre of old-school all-star epics with vignettes supporting the main story line.  It’s sisters are “The Longest Day” (1962) and “The Battle of the Bulge” (1965).  It was directed by Guy Hamilton of “Goldfinger” fame.  The screenplay is based on the book The Narrow Margin by Derek Wood and Derek Dempster.  During the filming, more bullets (in the form of blanks) were fired than in the actual battle.  The movie has a very impressive list of technical advisers which included Adolf Galland and Robert Stanford Tuck.
