TRIVIA

• Legend has it that Frank Sinatra got the role in the movie because of his speculated Mafia connections, and that this was the basis for a similar subplot in '' The Godfather ''.

• The famous beach lovemaking scene between Lancaster and Kerr was lampooned in the movie '' Airplane! '', where Robert Hays ' and Julie Hagerty 's characters become covered in seaweed.

• The movie was also remade as a TV miniseries in 1979 .

• The U.S. Army withheld its cooperation from the production until the producers agreed to several modifications, most noticeably the fate of Captain Holmes.

• William Holden , who won the Best Actor Oscar for '' Stalag 17 '', felt that he didn't deserve it. Holden thought Burt Lancaster should have won for this film.
