An article in the 7 November 1966 issue of 'Boxoffice' reported that four featurettes were made to promote the movie: "He Must Find There Nothing", in a 20-minute and a 10-minute version, a making of the production and how locations had to be modified to reflect the 1944 period; "Reality Must Not Be Left to Chance", 10-minute short behind the scenes; and a fourth featurette about composer Maurice Jarre.

Every actor spoke their own language during filming, and thus the movie was originally intended as trilingual in French, German and English (with a bit of Swedish). However, no home video release has as of yet reproduced this, preferring instead to provide audio tracks fully dubbed into one language or another.

Quotes
Lieutenant Henri Karcher: [over the phone to his father] Hello, Papa? This is Lieutenant Karcher. Your son. In spite of your pessimstic view of my military career, I'd like to announce I've just made some prisoners of the general in command of Paris at the Hotel Maurice. He surrendered to me. But I'm still very bad at drill.

Le boulanger: [a Resistance worker, of two village cops] I use them because of their uniforms. The Germans have respect for uniforms. Conditioned reflex.

Consul Nordling: General, your enemy is the Allied Army, not the people of Paris. Is this interesting? Interesting?

Général Von Choltitz: A few bombs always miss, but others will hit the target. It's the law of averages.
