Mandrake:

Ain’t It Cool had a good interview about The Big Red One with Mark Hamill and some other folks involved with the film from that event. You should be able to catch it here: http://aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=20245

I just watched The Conversation ! So it should be “THE Conversation” not “the CONVERSATION” ? I learn something new every day.

Bob,

I agree with you. Much like in The Conversation, the word upon which the emphasis is placed can make all the difference.

As Michael notes in the review, this film is about the Army’s first division, which Samuel Fuller was in. Their uniform patch is simply the numeral “1″ in red. So I believe the title should be pronounced “the big red ONE”, not “the big RED one”.

Any veterans out there who can help us ?
