TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

A 650 feet long suburban street set with seventeen semi-detached houses was constructed for this movie. Apparently, at the time at least, it was the largest set built in the UK for twenty-five years.

"News reel" footage shown in the cinemas of the RAF versus the Luftwaffe is actually from The Battle of Britain (1969).

The extras in the Home Guard unit that shoot down the rogue barrage balloon (1:01) were selected to look like the cast of Dad's Army (1968), the beloved, long-running BBC sit-com about the Home Guard.

The film's title is a shortening of the title of the flag-waving patriotic 1902 nationalist British song, "Land of Hope and Glory", music composed by Edward Elgar and lyrics by A.C. Benson.

According to the Australian DVD sleeve notes, this film is based on director Sir John Boorman's "own childhood experiences" during World War II.

Popular Dialogues

"Grandfather George: You want to know why they're called Faith, Hope, Grace and Charity? Bill Rowen: Why? Grandfather George: Your Grandmother. She named them after the virtues I lack. That's marriage for you!"

"Grace Rowan: Don't kill love. You'll regret it for the rest of your life."
