I thought that scene was set in Sicily.
>I thought that scene was set in Sicily.
You are confusing it with a Sicily scene where in one of Patton’s amphibious operations, another colonel and his XO are standing on the beach and Patton yells from a ridge that our boys are getting shot up on the beach and why aren’t they moving? Then he asked the second-in-command if he is the executive officer. When he replies “Yes”, Patton yells, “Well, you’re now the commanding officer. You’ve got 4 hours to get down there and relieve that beachhead or I’ll fire you too!” Then the XO says to his former commander that there are about 100,000 guys on this island who’d like to shoot that son of a bitch, leaving it to the audience which army he’s talking about.
Dammit, this is one of my all-time favorite movies!
