1 picture
Directed by: Nicholas Ray
Starring: Charlton Heston, David Niven, Ava Gardner, Flora Robson
Continuity mistake: After Matt Lewis asks the Baroness, "What the hell can I offer, a soldier's pay?" the bottle turns around between instant cuts. (01:35:02)
Trivia: The Chinese extras cast in this film were almost all Spanish residents, especially in Madrid. This was done to such an extreme extent that some Chinese restaurants and other Chinese-Spanish-owned businesses in the Madrid area especially were forced to close for a few days due to lack of personnel.
