There have been other war films with uncannily twinkly star studded cast lists. The Longest Day (1962) claims Sean Conery, John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, Henry Fonda, and Robert Mitchum amongst it's cast members. A Bridge Too Far (1977) Includes Anthony Hopkins, Robert Redford, Sean Connery, James Caan, Gene Hackman, Ryan O'Neil and Lawrence Olivier amongst it's ensemble. A Thin Red Line is notable for the number of high profile actors whose parts got whittled down to almost nothing in the editing room.
