FWD in the movies

[cmperry4]

OK - Rented A Bridge Too Far and the scene was where I remembered it, near the beginning, but the 'evacuation' is not civilians but the Germany army in retreat. Just after the prologue and the first scene with the Dutch resistance family, there is a montage of the Germans in retreat. The shot is of the rabble Germans moving along a road beside a canal, away from the camera, a soldier on a horse forces his way through the men - in the middle distance, there is the HUP bumping along - playing a German or commandeered vehicle - with troops riding on top. You only see the back end of it, but that's it. I am watching the rest of the movie later on, and if the HUP appears in any other shots, I will let you know, but from my previous viewings of film, that retreat shot is the only one I can think of. I guess the director or tech advisors couldn't think of a way of working a Canadian vehicle into the pic, but you think they could have had it stand in for an Allied vehicle in some of the shots. Oh well.
