Some great uniform pieces for sure on the German side of this production. Still a decent watch to this day. Shaw's performance as Col. Hessler was nicely done. He even got a decent haircut for this film unlike so many of the productions of the 60s and 70s where actors could not be bothered to look the part sporting sideburns and massive hair.

One of my least favorite war movies.

The 1965 film "Battle of the Bulge" was primarily filmed in Spain, specifically in the Sierra de Guadarrama mountain range and Madrid. The film's major tank battle scene and other battle scenes were filmed in flat, bare, arid territory, unlike the heavily wooded Ardennes region of Belgium, Luxembourg, and western Germany where the actual battle took place. It is as though the director didn’t care and thought the viewers would be dazzled by all the tanks he assembled. A real slap in the face to the veterans who endured those miserable winter conditions.

Thanks for that clarification Leigh, I was wondering how young Ford must have been when filming BOTB.

Harrison Ford starred in the 1978 movie Force 10 From Navarone with Robert Shaw, Carl Weathers, Catherine Bach and others..
