Trivia
A parachutist during World War II, Richard Todd took part in the invasion of Normandy on 6 June 1944. He later played his former commanding officer Major John Howard in Le Jour le plus long (1962), another dramatisation of the Normandy landings.

Goofs
When the U.S. soldiers are mocking a Home Guard unit drilling nearby, they say things like "they haven't even got uniforms." This would appear to be the case as you can see them wearing only LDV (Local Defense Volunteers) armbands on top of their "civvies." This was the case when the force was first formed early in the war (1940) well before the U.S. entered the war after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7th 1941. But by the time the GIs arrived in Britain in 1942, all units of the Home Guard were fully equipped with uniforms, weapons etc.

Quotes
Lt. Col. Alexander Timmer: I'm gonna get into a combat unit if I have to take a bust down to captain to do it.

One of my all time WWII favorites with perfect leads.

This WWII tear-jerker romance centered around the Normandy invasion in 1944 is one of my all time favorites of this genre. Most notably, the pairing of Robert Taylor and Dana Wynter seemed perfect casting. They are very natural together, real old pros. They exemplified the difficult relationships couples shared in wartime, grabbing a piece of life in the few moments available between battles.
