What's left behind the scenes

  • The first choice for the female role was actress Ingrid Bergman.
  • This spy thriller, based on the play (1943) by Lajos Biro (1880-1948), became a prototype for a real intelligence operation. Actor Miles Mander (1888-1946) so closely resembled British General Bernard L. Montgomery (1887-1976) that British intelligence even tried to recruit him and use him as Montgomery's double to mislead the Nazis. However, it turned out that Mander was noticeably taller than Montgomery, and the British found Australian comedian M.E. Clifton James (1898-1963), who was subsequently passed off as Montgomery. The disguised Montgomery specifically flew to Gibraltar to convince the Third Reich that the British would invade southern France before attacking northern France.
  • Cinematographer John F. Seitz (1892-1979) and director Billy Wilder (1906-2002) preliminarily reviewed a huge number of black and white photographs of the future filming locations to give the film as much authenticity as possible.
