amalsAre all American officers so ill-mannered?
Yeah, 'bout 99%.
Then perhaps while you are with us you will have a chance to learn some. Ten days isolation, Hilts.
Captain Hilts.
Twenty days.
Right... Oh, uh, you'll still be here when I get out...?

Interesting tidbit for you: When you get to the parts where Steve McQueen has "acquired" a motorcycle, watch closely. As the scenes progress, you'll be watching McQueen chase himself; not only did he do most of his own riding (friend and stuntman Bud Ekins did the big jump), he was also one of the Germans riding in pursuit. His riding style is easy to spot.

Snake207How...how how you managing over there without us? Getting along alright are you?
We seem to be getting along alright, sure. Sir.
Yes, well it's good stuff, Hilts.

CoolRich59There is one small favor. A camera. We want to take some snapshots. You know, keepsakes. 35mm with a 2.8 lens and a plane shutter.
Focal-plane shutter.
Werner, that's a focal-plane shutter. Let me know when you got it.

4x5Nothing to quote, but the scene where the British officer hauls himself up into his bunk, then falls down through the gaps in the boards, cracks me up every time.

mojojojoI want a system of stooges covering this compound from front to back, checking every goon in and out. I want a signal system so perfect that if ever a ferret gets within fifty feet of any of the huts in which we're working, we can shut down without a sign.

Interesting tidbit for you:
Another interesting note.. this movie is unusual in that most movies based on a true story take it and make it unbelievable. With this one, it's actually toned down a little. Some of the things they did in real life are more amazing and outlandish than in the film.
