Thanks...but do some Americans think that D-Day was just about them?
The other nationalities tend to get put on the back burner. Omaha and Utah Beaches are well-known (at least among a now-disappearing older generation), but not Gold, Juno, and Sword.
I have seen the movie. It is not accurate, and has no Canadians playing the Canadian troops.
LOL. Of course it's not accurate, it's totally far-fetched American propaganda made up from the American Hollywood point of view so what else could you expect? Hollywood has never gone for accuracy in anything. You're right about the actors too, the film was made in the late 1960's and Hollywood producers rarely if ever employed Canadian actors then, it was anathema to them. Canadian actors had to become American citizens or at least permanent residents before they were employable to Hollywood, so they could be postered and claimed as Americans. But it's still a great movie, very entertaining, especially entertaining for non-American viewers.
