I reported this a while ago but it wasn't put up, so...
If the film is set in the days approaching D-Day (June 1944), then how come the British soldier offers his American colleague some "British blackberries" as they stand on the hills overlooking Canterbury?
Blackberries are an autumnal fruit in England and would never appear as early as May or June. Gotcha!

Good point. It doesn't spoilt the movie for me though!
shareThe film is set at the very end of August, and you would certainly get early blackberries then.
It was also shot in 1943, so they wouldn't be able to know when D-Day would eventually be.
My parents still live in Canterbury and this year 2007(very rainy summer) we had blackberrys in the first week of July!
I don't think that the soldiers moving out is D Day. As many have said, the season is wrong for June. At any rate, D Day was such a big secret that they hardly would have had a service in the cathedral beforehand.
shareYou are a petty minded, egotistical twit who is not fit to comment on a film as great as this.
