Movie Trivia/Goofs

Movie Goof (continuity error): When Sal Mineo is shot dead, we hear two shots, but we only hear the bolt action rifle cycled once.
Movie Goof (factual errors): Kenneth Moore, playing beach master Commander Maud, wears four stripes of a captain rather than three of a commander.
Darryl F. Zanuck and Cornelius Ryan collaborated on the screenplay but they immediately hated each other upon their first meeting. It was up to producer Elmo Williams to liaise between the two and keep the peace.
Movie Goof (revealing mistake): When LTC Vandervoort uses his flashlight to illuminate his map (while having his broken ankle taped), the flashlight illuminates the map, but displays a flashlight-shaped shadow in the center of the map (indicating the stage light used to "really" illuminate the map).
