My dad had a "starring role" in that movie. He was an extra in a scene where there was some formal dance for the officers. Whenever it came on TV, our challenge was to watch closely during that scene and try to figure out which one was him. That was before we had the capability to record and rewind, so it was tough, especially since he didn't exactly hog the camera.
How exciting!!! When living in Luxembourg, I had the opportunity to be an extra in the filming of Danielle Steele’s “Jewels”. My husband claimed that I deserved an Oscar for the best supporting extra in a foreign film. I also told everyone that Robert Wagner was in my movie. :)
