REVIEWS

Review by anonymous (posted on 2-Jun-2005)

If you wonder who is marching into Poland at the beginning of this film, it was the UCLA Marching Band. We were selected to be the German soldiers and spent a day filming the marching scene in Burbank. They were very particular about each musician looking German enough. Long hair was tied up in hair nets to meet the style of the WWII German army. Authentic German WWII uniforms and disabled rifles were issued to us by the props department.
