Trivia: Trevor Howard was second choice for Major Fitcham. (more)
Goofs: Factual errors: At the very beginning of the movie when Col. Ryan's P-38 airplane is flying over the city trailing smoke, the smoke is coming from the center fuselage, not one of the engines. The sound of an engine sputtering is clearly heard, but the smoke is not coming from an engine. (more)
Quotes: Maj. Eric Fincham: You'll get your Iron Cross now, "Von" Ryan! (more)
Awards: Nominated for Oscar. Another 2 wins & 1 nomination (more)
