...such fractious military men as Britain's Montgomery, France's De Gaulle and the U.S.'s General Mark Clark. When Eisenhower was preparing to leave for London to direct the Normandy invasion, Winston Churchill (who dubbed Smith "the Bulldog") begged him to leave Smith in the Mediterranean theater as chief of staff.

Zanuck needed the U.S. Navy, and the only fleet the Pentagon had available for him was the Sixth. which is supposed to stay in the Mediterranean. Undaunted, Zanuck's special-effects technicians smoked out the high Corsican hills, beclouded the cobalt air, and hosed down the white beaches so the sand would look dark and Norman.
