I agree, that is a wonderful scene and that line is just about the best in the film. Although, I have to say I am a bit more partial to the girl on the bicycle :)
Guy on the right made it through the war, fell in love with a beautiful Puerto Rican girl in the ‘60s, ended up owning a luxury rustic hotel in the Pacific Northwest in the late ‘90s.
At the same time the Nazi was there with his boots on the wrong feet....have seen this many times but don’t remember if he was dead or alive.
Are you sure? Isn’t that Jeffrey Hunter? He had three wives and none appear to have a Puerto Rican name. Barbara Rush was his first wife and she was also the mother of Claudia Cowan, the FOX correspondent. Barbara Rush was the most beautiful woman...
“”Guy on the right made it through the war, fell in love with a beautiful Puerto Rican girl in the ‘60s, ended up owning a luxury rustic hotel in the Pacific Northwest in the late ‘90s.””
“”Hunter’s first marriage from 1950 to 1955 to actress Barbara Rush produced a son, Christopher (born 1952). From 1957 to 1967, Hunter was married to model Dusty Bartlett. He adopted her son, Steele, and the couple had two other children, Todd and Scott. In February 1969, he married actress Emily McLaughlin to whom he remained married until his death only three months later.[12]””
I’ve got some sorry comments from FReepers in the past over posting that scene with most saying that it was more or less leftist propaganda.
But you ask any Vet and he will tell you that your first action is confusing and scarey and most of the time it is the stuff you do automatically because it has been drummed into you until it has become part of your DNA and the Grace of God that gets you through it.
There is nothing glorious about it and there isn’t man there that doesn’t wish he was somewhere else.
