I must admit WED is one of my favourite WWII movies, even though it has plot holes big enough to drive a lorry through!

Check out the article from the chap who actually visited Werfen (Austria) and the "Schloss Adler"/Burg Hohenwerfen.

To keep this somewhat kilt-related, in the novel by Alistair MacLean (good Scots name), Major Smith was an officer in the Black Watch.

"Broadsword calling Danny Boy..."

Ahhhh, great movie Todd. I can't watch it enough.

[Jack Daw]

Everytime it pops up on the tube, I have to watch it. It's not accurate, but it's cool.

[Dr Mac]

It IS way cool.

We use the "Danny Boy and Broadsword" call signs when we are using radios on the hill.

I love that one! I was caught completely off guard by the final plot twist (a rare occurrence for me!).

[Carolina Kiltman]

For a long time I never watched War movies, too close to home! But after 60+ years, I may try this one.

What a wonderful piece of trivia! Thanks for that Jock Scot!

WED is one of "those" movies for me. The movies that stop me in my tracks - everything goes on hold until the credits roll.

Classic favorite!
I remember watching that (and other great flix) on the CBS Sunday/Tuesday/Thursday night movies. (wow... does that date me!)
Picked up the DVD cheap at Wally World.

Now if I could just find "Operation Crossbow", on DVD.

I saw this movie for the first time when i was with the 101st Airborne at Fort Campbell back in 66.
Had just came from jump school at Benning.

Does that tell my age or what?
