Among the things already mentioned, it also has one of the most amazing long-take arial shots. I can't remember it very well, but it goes something like this: from the ships in the harbor, to the docks, to soldiers running/charging a long way along the docks, ending in a battle over the horizon of the docks into the city. I think. If anyone remembers it better, please correct me. It went on forever, involved enormous mass coordination of many elements, and was perfectly accomplished, in that case by one of its several directors, Ken Annakin. That was the Free French commando attack on Huistreham, which opened with an amazing single tracking shot which must have been a nightmare to coordinate. I may be wrong but I think it was inspired by some newsreel footage of the actual attack. Probably the best bit of the movie, apart from the scenes in which Robert Mitchum appears. |
