General, or Field Marshal?[edit]
This is around the time when Monty makes Marshal, so he is definitively still a General in the film?

- He was promoted Field Marshal in September 1944 (as a consolation prize for having to report to the less-experienced Eisenhower). So in the run-up to D-Day, he was still a General. Valetude (talk) 11:18, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
Playing both parts?[edit]
He doesn't actually play Monty in the film. He is only seen on the steps of Monty's caravan in advance of meeting him. Valetude (talk) 14:44, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
- I agree with Valetude's observation. However, whilst watching the film (broadcast in the UK yesterday) I noted that the opening credits state "..as himself" but the closing credits state "..as himself and General Montgomery". Seems that this may be the source of the confusion. John M Brear (talk) 10:33, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
In Popular Culture[edit]
These uncited statements do not appear significant enough to retain. Just ephemeral plays on a recent film, not something lasting. Chemical Engineer (talk)
