"10 Most Historically Inaccurate Movies" - Yahoo!
#2
But they missed out 'U537' (or whatever the number was): the US navy dodging submarines and the German navy to get hold of 'enigma'. That could be my favourite. The US did not take part in any attempt to capture 'enigma', and didn't even know about its existence until after the war!!

Or what about the one they produced during WWII? Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of it (anybody??), but it had Frank Sinatra and his men landing on a Japanese-held island and taking it 'single-handedly'. They showed the film to Australian troops and they promptly walked out. The US hadn't taken part in the attack on the island - it had all been done by the Aussies!

What about Anthony and Cleopatra?

There's just too many!! :lol:
