It was the 3rd of September


When Tyrone power was telling his story, he started his story with the line, " It was the 3rd of September ", Poppa was a rolling stone, a song by the Temptations starts off with the same phrase: It was the 3rd of September, don't know if anyone else caught that.

And so strange it would be snowing in September

By sheer coincidence it is actually the 3rd of September as I post. I was about to surf through some mystery titles and your topic heading was staring up at me straight away.

I can't remember what happened on the 3rd September in the story of the movie before re-watching. But I remember the Temptations singer lost his papa on this date. "And when he died all he left us was alone."

3rd of September 1939, Britain declared war on Germany, if that helps ;-)

I should have guessed that. I've seen plenty of WW11 documentaries.
