End of Movie and JFK Berlin Speech


John Kennedy or John Kennedy's speech writers must have been thinking of this movie when they wrote his "Ich bin ein Berliner" speech. The narrative at the end of the movie is so similar. "Let them look to Norway" - "Let them come to Berlin".

Or they might have been thinking of FDR, whose speech the film was quoting :)

an anyone quote for me the three last statements in the film which end 'Look at Norway'

"If there is anyone who still wonders why this war is being fought, let him look to Norway. If there is anyone who has any delusions that this war could have been averted, let him look to Norway; and if there is anyone who doubts the democratic will to win, again I say, let him look to Norway."

This movie was on TCM this morning. Great movie.
